The second annual McGraw Symposium, sponsored by The McGraw Center for Business Journalism at the CUNY J-School, will explore the continuing transformation of business journalism in the digital era. Top editors from the Wall Street Journal, Yahoo Finance, and Bloomberg News will discuss the challenges and opportunities they face in reshaping coverage amidst the rapid changes underway. We’ll look at the growth of mobile, the rise of distributed content -- and ask what they see coming up next on the horizon.
With the presidential election campaign at a fever pitch, three experts tackle the question of what the voters think about the economy, the candidates and the convention wisdom that the direction of the economy will decide the general election. Pollsters Lee Merginhof and Mickey Carroll join the Times Upshot economics writer Neil Irwin to tackle the issue.
Join three top investigative reporters who’ve mined the business beat for award-winning stories as they discuss what it took to produce their pieces. We’ll talk about how they develop their ideas and approach the reporting, how they find and cultivate sources, and what they do when the inevitable roadblocks arise. And we’ll ask each of them to provide helpful tools and tips that everyone can put in to practice after leaving the conference.
