Financial literacy column to begin in Cincinnati daily

Julia Heath writes in the Cincinnati Enquirer about how the Gannett-owned daily is starting a new column in its business section.

Heath writes, “Later this month a new column debuts in The Enquirer’s Business section that will be aimed primarily at our youth (although adults might enjoy it as well). It will explain current economic and financial education topics in an accessible way so that students can become more informed about the world in which they live.

“The column will contain internet links for parents and teachers so that parents can talk to their children about economics and financial issues, and teachers can continue the conversation in the classroom.

“Our objective is not only to impart important information to our youth, but also to give parents and teachers the tools to engage in the conversations necessary to strengthen and enlighten individuals, families and communities, not only during Financial Literacy Month, but year-round.”
