Business news is a broad category of news involving business and economics. It includes local newspapers’ business sections and tabloids covering the major companies in a particular city, as well as national daily, weekly and monthly general business newspapers and magazines like The Wall Street Journal, Fortune, Business Week and Forbes.

Historically, business press reports and analysis have come from newspaper and wire service reporters who report on the activities of the largest and most innovative corporations. But the scope of this category has expanded to include Internet-based sources of business news and feature articles.

There are many types of publications that cover the business world, and most people have at least a few different ones they read on a regular basis. Some of the most popular include trade journals, which specialize in the day-to-day intricacies of specific industries; and subscription-only newsletters that offer news and advertising that is relevant to a small group of people within an industry.

A trade magazine or journal often focuses on an industry’s latest trends and technologies, and it frequently includes interviews with industry experts about what they are doing differently in the field. It may also feature detailed tests of new products by the magazine’s own staff.

Some of these industry-specific publications are also involved in managing the business aspects of large trade shows, which complement their subject matter and add to the advertising they carry. Some of these are owned by newspapers that publish business sections in their local daily and weekly papers, while others are published by companies specializing in this type of publication.

The business press is an important source of news about company events, governmental regulation, job leads, industry sales and investment leads. The business press frequently covers issues that are not noticed by the mass media, and it is especially a leading source of breaking news about business trends before they become widely recognized.

In addition to the major business newspapers, there are thousands of trade magazines and subscription-only newsletters that deal with the intricacies of specific industries. These magazines often include interviews with industry experts and detailed stories about the ways that successful companies in an industry have overcome challenges and created success.

These magazines usually include sections on new products and services that are available to the public, and they sometimes also feature classified ads for job openings in specific industries. They may also have a legislative action section that covers state and national regulatory issues.

For those who are looking to get a jump on the latest trends in business, there are apps that provide up-to-date financial news. The CNBC Breaking Business News app, for example, offers up-to-date market news, opinion and commentary, technical analyses and stock-picking insights. It also delivers global coverage and provides access to TheStreet, a site that aggregates news and data related to stocks.

One of the best apps for up-to-date business news is the Bloomberg: Business News app, which provides a multimedia experience of global business and financial news, market data and proprietary portfolio tools. The app features articles written by award-winning Bloomberg journalists.
