ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thought on concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book failure of business journalism to serve as a proper watchdog of corporate activities in the interest of the public, especially the real workers and consumers of goods and services, despite all its great achievements in the building of modern industrial society, has over the years met with heavy scholarly criticism. This book has used the critical political economy approach of business journalism to resolve this identity crisis and restore business journalism to where it truly belongs. It is important that business journalism education recognises this dichotomy between business journalism, which embraces the interest of the public as a whole, that is the investor, big or small, as well as workers and consumers of goods and services on the one hand, and financial journalism, which orientates more towards the interests of the investors and corporate elites.
