The Business News Collection at the Library of Congress

Business news is news related to companies and the economy. It can cover a wide variety of topics ranging from company earnings reports to major mergers and acquisitions. It can also include information on market trends, industry forecasts, and regulatory issues. Business news is widely published in a variety of formats including print, television, radio and the internet. Some of the most popular business news sources are newspapers and magazines. These publications often focus on large corporations and global events, but they may also cover smaller businesses and local economic developments.

A business is an organization or enterprising entity that engages in commercial, industrial or professional activities with the aim of making a profit. It can be for-profit or non-profit and it can range in size from a small operation run by one person to large multinational corporations with thousands of employees around the world.

While a business’ primary objective is to make a profit, it must also provide value for the community in which it operates. This is why some business owners choose to donate money or products to charitable organizations. This is not only good for the community, but it can also be beneficial for business by improving public perception of the company.

Whether you need to research a potential investment or simply keep up with the latest trends in your field, the Library of Congress offers an array of print and microform business news resources. For additional assistance, you can contact a librarian by email or phone using our Ask-A-Librarian service.

Every publication has been crafted with that in mind, creating content that supports and strengthens business in Northeast, North Central and West Central Wisconsin.
