for instance, in the United States there isn’t even any such thing as a “labor reporter” anymore (except in the business press, actually)-but there are plenty of “business reporters.” And again, that doesn’t reflect people’s interests: a lot more people are interested in the problems of workers than are interested in the bond market, if you count their numbers, but if you multiply their numbers by their power in the society, then yeah, it’s true, the market for news about money and stocks is much greater than the market for news about issues which matter to working people.
