Economics as News

This special supplement covers the origins of journalism about economics from the combined perspectives of history and sociology. From reporting on the South Sea Bubble to contemporary controversies about Chile’s political economy, these essays examine how practices and cultures shape the adoption of economic ideas as news and economists as news personalities. The essays also include testimonies by practicing economic journalists about their careers and vocation.
