Abstract
This chapter focuses on the economic and business journalism produced by the BBC. Despite increased competition from online news organisations, BBC News holds three of the top five positions in the overall rankings. The BBC is also rated as a highly trustworthy source of economic and business news and, since the financial crisis, there has been a substantial increase in audience interest. Economic and business news equips the public with essential knowledge and understanding to make informed decisions, and is a vital element of the BBC's journalistic output. However, only around a fifth of viewers believe that the Corporation gives a ‘fair and balanced picture’ of the economic environment. For these reasons, it is important to take a critical look at the impartiality of the BBC's journalism in this sphere.
