  • What Is Financial Journalism For? Ethics and Responsibility in a Time of Crisis

Ethics and responsibility in a time of crisis and change Report by damian tambini polis, lse I am grateful to Isabelle Cao Lijun, Terence Kiff, Eva Knoll, Judy Lin, and Gladys Tang for research assistance relating to this article. Thanks also to those that contributed in the seminars and interviews, who are listed in the appendix. Preface A Crisis for Financial Journalism? The current crisis in global banking, markets and economies has reminded us all of the importance of financial and business journalism. It has also raised a set of profound questions as to the quality of that form of reporting. Why didn’t we know this was coming? Did the journalists fail to put the financial system under proper scrutiny? Are they equipped to deal with the continuing complex story? Is this representative of a wider problem with the news media? This pamphlet seeks to address some of those questions. Research for this report began before the Northern Rock scandal. It is not a knee- jerk response. It attempts to set out a framework for a critical analysis of financial journalism. Therefore, we believe it is a useful tool for addressing the present debate about the coverage of the developing crisis.

And he has been a great supporter, so Dean Rod Hart, please. [Applause.] Dean Rod Hart: Good afternoon. It’s a pleasure to be here. It’s sort of interesting to reflect back on our college and connect it with this conference. Some years ago in the late sixties, three department chairs got together on campus and they were thinking that it would make some sense to pull together the individual departments that were focusing on various pieces of the communication puzzle. And so they did. And ultimately the college grew into five departments. But what’s really interesting about that initial group of Radio-Television-Film, and Journalism, and Speech Communication, as Advertising and Public Relations came into the college, etc., in some ways, the college had constructed itself with a vision far beyond what it thought it had. Because here we are today with all of these divisions among the various communication silos breaking down, and so much of that is what you all are thinking about and how the web really has changed those very traditional distinctions.
