Quartz editor in chief Katherine Bell has written a column arguing for a more progressive form of business journalism.
Bell writes, “If we want a better, more inclusive economy, we need a new, more demanding form of business and economic journalism, one that questions the assumptions our organizations, industries, and economies are built on; investigates not only how the systems that govern them are working now, but how they might be improved; and prepares readers to take action to improve them. In other words, we need business journalism to be more progressive.
“I don’t mean ‘progressive’ in its specifically American political sense. I mean it as Merriam-Webster defines it, ‘making use of or interested in new ideas, findings, or opportunities’ and ‘moving forward or onward; advancing.’ The word’s technical, optometric meaning is a helpful metaphor, as well—when you look through progressive lenses, you can see what lies in the distance as clearly as what is right in front of you.”
