New book examines business and financial journalism in the Arab world

Published by Routledge, it is written by Faisal Alaqil and Jairo Lugo-Ocando.
The authors study regional newspapers and interview journalists and editors about how business news is produced and where its information comes from.
The book focuses on the need to explain and verify financial data, rather than simply repeat figures or company statements.
Digital publishing increases pressure to be fast without losing accuracy, and misleading information can distort views of a company or an entire sector.
