Survey says: Maybe The Audit isn’t the only one to wonder whether the business press has some thinking to do in the wake of the implosion of its central beat.

From Huffington Post:


NEW YORK — Signaling a look inward that echoes critiques of the media’s performance in the months before the Iraq War, some of the nation’s top financial journalists believe reporters dropped the ball as the nation’s economy tumbled toward crisis mode.

Sixty-two of 100 journalists surveyed by Abrams Research, a firm started by former MSNBC chief Dan Abrams, criticized the media’s work, suggesting there was an over-exuberance about the economy and a failure to connect the dots as troubles began.

Interesting. And a good first step.
