Top Business News Resources
Whether you are the executive of a corporation, an individual investor, working in the banking sector, involved in M&A deals or simply a person who is concerned with what goes on around you, you need good business news resources. The internet provides endless options for this need, so you have to be selective. Before we dive into some of the resources that I find essential, I would like to describe how I view a good news resource.
A “good” news resource publishes, for the most part, content with following features:
- accurate
- to-the-point
- up-to-date
- contains relevant media (images, videos, infographics, etc.)
- easy to read
Here are some of the resources that I use for both professional and personal purposes:
#1: Bloomberg
If you are not following Bloomberg’s website or BloombergTV you are missing out! Bloomberg News is an international news agency co-founded by Michael Bloomberg. Bloomberg makes sure to publish the most recent news-worth events that are crucial to almost every one involved in international trade & business. They also provide categorized news articles as to commodities, stocks, bonds, futures, crypto and more.
#2: Investing.com
Investing.Com is focused on financial news and live updates that provide insight as to the next step of the financial world. Investing.Com differs from other news resources with its unique forums for each commodity and ForEx pair. In these forums you can see what other investors’ “sentiments” are. As an example take a look at the following pages:
#3: Wall Street Journal
The Wall Street Journal is an English-language international daily newspaper based in New York, United States. If you do not have access to their printed materials do not worry, their subscription-based website provides plenty of information.
As of 2019 the WSJ has won 37 Pulitzer Prizes and is regarded as one of the most prestigious news resources all around the globe. In my opinion WSJ’s news articles that are not about business & finance, such as their news about Books & Art, Life & Work and Sports are at least as tenacious and compelling as their news about business and finance.
#4: ZeroHedge
ZeroHedge is a different kind of news resource in this list. Some people view it as “far right”, but I prefer to call their point of view “right-leaning”. It is a blog with multiple editors and authors that present staff-written articles and usually controversial articles, news and opinions. It is owned by ABC Media Limited incorporated in Bulgaria and created by Daniel Ivandijiski. If you are looking for access to financial commentary that differ from the mainstream, or provide you with a second-opinion ZeroHedge is your best bet.
#5: RT
I thought long and hard before including RT into this list; but I think it has a place in every business-reader’s arsenal. RT (Russia Today) is a Russian state-controlled international TV network and news website funded by the Russian government. Although some viewers describe RT as a ‘propaganda instrument of the Russia’, I beg to differ. I think RT’s strength does not come from highlighting Russia’s success stories but in fact shedding some light on US’s failures that do not usually find a place in the mainstream media for one reason or another. In my view it is a resource that can be described as the “devil’s advocate” for the lack of a better term.
