Reviews

Chris Roush demystifies financial storytelling, and with insight from leading journalists helps reporters figure out when a company's dollars make sense-and when they don't. Show Me the Money prepares even the math-phobic reporter to write business news that matters to readers from Main Street to Wall Street. -Melita M. Garza, Texas Christian University Show Me the Money isn't just a thorough textbook - it's an essential reference that should be on the desk of any journalist who may ever have to write about business and finance. -John Kroll, Kent State University
