Business is the economic activity associated with creating, buying, selling or exchanging products and services. Historically, the main purpose of business was to make financial gains or profits and provide jobs, but the modern understanding of the term has grown to incorporate social impact and environmental sustainability.

Business news is a genre of journalism that records, tracks and analyzes the commercial activities of businesses, as well as their influence on society and the economy. It is primarily found in newspapers, magazines, radio and television news-casts, but also in online publications and websites.

A key part of business news is reporting on mergers and acquisitions, but it can also include analysis of financial markets and economic trends, as well as the day-to-day operations of publicly-traded companies. It is often considered to be one of the highest forms of investigative journalism, aiming to shed light on hidden aspects of the corporate world that could otherwise remain unknown to the public.

The current business landscape has seen numerous scandals that have rocked the reputation of many large corporations and left the general public with a poor impression of big business. These include the collapse of Enron, Tyco and WorldCom, and more recently, the disastrous customer service and ethical scandals at Wells Fargo. These incidents have caused many to question the true purpose of business and what kind of values should drive the leaders of businesses and their employees.

As a result, there has been an increased demand for quality business news. Luckily, the internet has opened up new avenues for finding this information and there are now more opportunities than ever to stay on top of the latest business news.

This is great news for business journalists and those looking to keep up with the latest developments in the business world. However, the abundance of business news has led to a rise in the number of fake stories being circulated. As a result, it is more important than ever to be vigilant about where you get your business news from and to understand the differences between genuine and fake news.

Founded in 1992, BUSINESS TODAY was the first Indian newspaper to introduce a whole new genre of journalism-more up close and more incisive. Today, it has a commanding position amongst business magazines and is regarded as the leader in corporate coverage.

The magazine covers a diverse range of topics from the macroeconomic environment to management theories. It has a large reader base across India and is considered the most credible business publication in the country. In addition to being a top choice for readers, it is also a favourite of business executives and academicians.
