The money news that matters most

Lex Haris, the executive editor of CNNMoney.com, writes about the website’s coverage going forward in the wake of its split with Fortune and Money magazines.

Haris writes, “Our focus is the money news that matters most to you: The person striving hard to get to the next level. The entrepreneur. The individual investor. CNNMoney is about your life, your dreams, your money.

“We care about good journalism: real reporting and getting the facts right.

“We care about tech, because it influences all of our lives in so many ways.

“We care about markets, because we all have to invest to save for something. And because markets are sure to blow up again one day and scare the hell out of us. When that day comes, some of us will want to sell everything and the best way to guard against bad investing is to understand what’s going on.

“We care about what goes on in Washington, because lawmakers’ decisions will always affect Main Street. We know the nation’s short-term debt doesn’t matter, long-term debt does, and the debt ceiling is stupid. We also know that tax reform is necessary but it won’t happen anytime soon.

“We care about your homes and jobs and pensions and health care.”
