As a business journalism educator, I think it’s important for those doing the teaching to also be practicing the craft, and I write a monthly sports business column for Business North Carolina magazine in addition to some other business-related writing.

So it hurts me to see someone else teaching business journalism at the university level get criticized for their writing. But that’s what a Montana-based blog has done, taking an NYU professor to task.

The entry begins: “It looks like I learned why so much economics reporting is bass-ackward. This is probably too simple of an explanation, but I’m going to lay the blame squarely at the feet of Adam L. Penenberg, assistant director of the business and economic reporting program at New York University.”

You can read the entire critique of Adam’s story that ran on Slate here.
