Running on empty: Why we might be doing this to ourselves, and how to get re-energized about work
Saturday May 9, 2026 9:00am - 9:45am EDT

Covering business and finance in communities: Reporting power, opportunity and impact
Saturday May 9, 2026 10:00am - 10:45am EDT
Business and finance coverage plays a powerful role in shaping how communities are understood — who is seen as an economic actor, whose businesses are valued and whose challenges receive sustained attention. Some coverage often centers narrowly on disparities, without equal attention to entrepreneurship, ownership, innovation and economic leadership.

This session explores how business journalists can report more fully and accurately by broadening story frames, sourcing and context. The conversation focuses on covering economic power, small and midsize businesses, labor, housing, access to capital and wealth creation while avoiding stereotypes and oversimplification.

This panel is in partnership with RTDNA.
