Role you're checking

Business Journalist

Creator

Business journalists report on companies, capital markets, monetary policy, and the economy for print, digital, and television outlets. In India the tier-1 outlets are Mint (HT Media), The Economic Times, BusinessLine (The Hindu Group), Forbes India, BW Businessworld, CNBC TV18, and BQ Prime (formerly Bloomberg Quint); the markets data layer runs through Moneycontrol and ET Markets. The work demands dual fluency — journalism craft (sourcing, structuring, filing on deadline) and financial literacy (reading balance sheets, decoding RBI policy, tracking FII/DII flows, following SEBI filings). Earnings-season coverage, IPO reporting, and central-bank policy cycles are the recurring intensity peaks. Television crossover — especially on CNBC TV18 — creates a parallel track where print correspondents move to broadcast anchor roles, dramatically expanding income and public profile.
