Covering Globalization: A Handbook for Reporters

This is a textbook for reporters who cover finance and economics in developing and transitional countries. Written by economists from the Asian Development Bank and the International Monetary Fund as well as journalists who have worked for Dow Jones, the Financial Times, the New York Times, Fortune, and Reuters - and with an introduction by Nobel Laureate Joseph E. Stiglitz - this resource helps reporters write about subjects such as banking and banking crises, pension reform, privatisation, trade agreements, central banks, the World Bank, sovereign debt restructuring, commodity markets, corporate governance, poverty eradication programmes, and the "resource curse."

Each chapter explains the basic economic principles and current thinking on a given topic and provides

• tips on what to look for when covering specific subjects;
• a way to structure business and economics stories;
• a way to use the internet for reporting with links to more information online;
• extensive glossaries, and more.
