Industry News
When looking for news about a specific industry, make sure you look for:
- The date of publication.
- The quality of resource used (typically national journals and newspapers (such as Wall Street Journal) are more trustworthy than online only sources, such as You Tube).
- Look for Trade publications. These are publications made by the industry leaders themselves. But also BEWARE of these sources as they can have a bias towards their own industry. While some associations provide trade reports only to their members, many offer free industry information on their websites. One way to find Trade associations for and industry is through Google: type in the "association" and the name of the industry.
- News items are verified by several sources are usually more reliable than "one offs".
