Media Bias and the Economy…Are You Buying It?

I am no economist, I have no expertise in the economic condition, and I am extremely blessed to still have a position in business, but I want to know if things are really as bad for you as “they” say.

Okay, as I mentioned in my blog last week about company growth, I said that one of the things I love about business is that for the most part, success is truly in our own hands. With that being said, I have numerous friends, and know many companies that are still thriving despite the economic woes being expressed. I understand that many BIG companies were extremely irresponsible in handling money, and that is unfortunate. (What if the Big Three got together and made a “super car?”)

What I am trying to get at, is that I notice a difference in attitude between people who watch the news and people who don’t. I am a communication arts major. I loved comm art classes in school and loved the theory behind it. I also know that media can have a negative effect if one doesn’t pay close attention to it. We’ve been being fed many stories and for many, it’s not digesting very well. What’s true and what’s not?

Could our attitudes toward the economy shape the outcome? Or are people already defeated? What is your company doing about it? Has it had an effect?
