A Look Back at Global Economy Stories

It was certainly a good week to feature stories on the global economy.  There were more top rated stories and others still left in the "to be reviewed" que to  really talk about. But that's a good thing. As fears of a global recession are being echoed around, we certainly want the journalism on the topic to be solid if not superb. By filtering the wheat from the chaffe, NewsTrust is doing a public service for the larger world wide web.

We finished the week off with four stories rated 4.0 or above (check the Top Rated category here).

The most interesting to me, and one that has been top rated all week is "Next Stop Asia?" from the Economist. The article posits a hefty question, that Asia should be able to withstand a knock from the American recession. But as the NewsTrust community read the article, they overwhelmingly agreed that it was chock full of information, giving it a 4.5 in that category.

The question itself is huge. We are talking about continents after all, it's not something you can just ignore. So kudos again to the Economist for giving us some hard hitting journalism. It should not suprise us either. The NewsTrust community has consistently interpreted Economist stories to be solid journalism.

If you are looking for a global economy story with style, then check out "Europe Takes Africa's Fish, and Migrants Follow" from the New York Times. This story was well rounded with context, information and style. The article itself is fantastic - and if we rated photos (an idea that isn't off the table) I would definitely give this piece a fantastic review.
