Roush gives an insight into his new book “The Future of Business Journalism”

Chris Roush

Chris Roush, a business journalism expert, has published his tenth book, ““The Future of Business Journalism: Why It Matters for Wall Street and Main Street.”

Roush also serves as the dean of the School of Communications at Quinnipiac University and the founder of business journalism site Talking Biz News. Recently, he did a Q&A with Observer executive editor James Ledbetter.

An excerpt reads:

But it’s the 99% of us, the 30 million small business owners and the millions of consumers out there, who are no longer getting the business and economics news that they need to make important decisions either about their companies or about their personal lives.
