From Instinct to Insight: Rewriting the Business News Playbook
Editorial instincts meet evidence
Seasoned reporters still feel market tremors, but data validates the vibration. A sudden shift in shipping rates, supplier filings, and credit spreads can corroborate intuition, tightening headlines and anchoring bold angles in defendable, reproducible analysis.
The story behind the spreadsheet
A spreadsheet is rarely the story; patterns are. Reporters interrogate anomalies, comparing quarterly seasonality, footnote language changes, and peer benchmarks to translate raw figures into human consequences for jobs, innovation, and competitiveness.

Data Ethics in Business Journalism
Transparency is trust
We cite data origins, methodology, and limitations in every analysis. When models extrapolate, we label assumptions. When samples are small, we acknowledge risk. Trust grows when readers can replicate our results and challenge our calculations.
Avoiding algorithmic bias
Models can inherit historical skew. We test for bias across sectors, geographies, and firm sizes, and we avoid conclusions that could misrepresent undercovered companies. Responsible journalism interrogates outputs before amplifying them.
Your standards, our promise
What ethical disclosures do you expect in data-driven stories—code repositories, data dictionaries, or margin-of-error statements? Comment your expectations, and we will incorporate them into our public methodology checklist.
From Earnings Calls to Clarity: Analytics That Decode Corporate Language

Human + Machine: Collaboration in the Data-Driven Newsroom
Reporters define questions; analysts design features and validate signals. This partnership prevents spurious correlations from morphing into headlines and ensures that every chart supports a narrative grounded in real-world consequences.
Building Audience Trust with Radical Transparency
Each data-heavy article includes a methods section explaining transformations, smoothing, and outlier handling. We show why choices were made and how alternative settings would change the view, empowering reader scrutiny.
Building Audience Trust with Radical Transparency
