Accuracy is important in business journalism

Southern Beauty magazine’s Yolanda Heiberger interviewed Fox Business Network anchor Dagen McDowell about her job and what she does every day.

Here is an excerpt:

Southern Beauty: What do you enjoy most about your job?

Dagen McDowell: I really enjoy business and financial news because it matters to everyone. It affects just about every decision you make, from how much you’re going to spend on Christmas gifts each year, to where you choose to eat lunch, to where you’re planning to send your children to school. It has a real impact on all of our lives. Also, I feel very fortunate to be able to bring my passion about business news to my job on the air. Television allows me to do this much more than writing ever did. Â

SB: What do you view as the most important aspect of your career?

DM: The most important thing for me is being completely accurate with the  information we present and, at the same time, getting the information out to people quickly. We’re continually pushing ourselves to be better and rethinking everything we do. In this business, if you’re comfortable, you’re not doing something right.
