About the newsroom

Econ Herald explains the economy in plain English

Breaking economy news and plain-English analysis of markets, jobs, housing and your money.

Who we are

Econ Herald is an independent digital newsroom published by Econ Herald Media LLC. We cover the economy the way it reaches kitchen tables: interest rates that show up in a mortgage quote, job reports that show up in a paycheck, and policy changes that show up at tax time.

Our goal is simple. When a number moves or a rule changes, we tell you what happened, why it happened and what it could mean for your household budget, without jargon and without hype.

What we cover

Our reporting is organized into 6 desks:

Editorial standards

Sourcing

We build stories on primary sources wherever possible: official statistics releases, central bank statements, government agencies, court filings and company disclosures. When we rely on another outlet's reporting, we say so. We do not publish invented quotes, and we do not present estimates as facts.

Corrections

If we get something wrong, we fix it. Substantive errors are corrected in the article and the correction is noted. If you spot a mistake, tell the newsroom and include the headline and what you believe is incorrect.

Independence

Advertising keeps Econ Herald free to read, but advertisers have no say in what we cover or how we cover it. Sponsored material, if any, is clearly labeled and kept separate from our reporting.

Not investment advice

Our articles are for general information and education. Nothing we publish is personalized financial, investment, tax or legal advice. Markets move and rules change, so check current figures and consider speaking with a licensed professional before making decisions about your money.
