The position occupied by business and economic news has transformed over recent decades with important implications for industry and its organization, for journalists and others involved professionally in news mediation and, not least, for society and its understanding of this increasingly influential dimension of public discourse. Based on pioneering research, this book provides a welcome and unique analysis of both the expansion and the modernization of business news provision in Nordic countries. The authors provide an authoritative historical account and a penetrating and insightful critique of the contribution of the modern business press to news production as a whole and to businessknowledge within society. Gillian Doyle, Senior Lecturer, Department of Film and Media Studies,University of Stirling, Scotland The expansion of business news has received relatively limited attention from individual social sciences. This team of researchers provides much needed interdisciplinary breadth and integration that provides a foundation for future research on business news. David Deephouse, Associate Professor,Department of Strategic Management and Organization,University of Alberta, Canada This book gives a fresh view on the interaction between business, media, and economic discourse. Despite global trends and similarities among the Nordic countries the authors demonstrate how business media are still formed by national history and culture. Olof Petersson, Professor of Political Science,Centre for Business and Policy Studies, SNS, Stockholm, Sweden
