they?re written. Mark Tatge?s volume looks at how these reporters balance compelling analysis and historical perspective, showing students specific ways to practice the craft of business writing. Delving into the fundamentals of covering the beat, the book is divided into two sections?one on the economy (inflation, jobs, wagers, debt and taxes) and another on business (Wall Street, mergers, profiles and investigative reporting).
