They were the business papers of  record for their nations: anyone in business who turned up at a meeting,  a conference, a lunch and was not familiar with what was in that day’s  paper was in danger of missing out or not being taken seriously. The  papers had to be accurate, they had to be worthy, they had to contain  information of importance to readers. But they could get away with being  boring. \u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003eToday these papers must still be all these things but they must also be  compelling. They no longer have monopolies. They must compete with  business stories written for the web, for blogs, wires, on Twitter. Business  writing today, whatever the medium, can no longer take its readers for  granted, it can no longer be dull. \u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003eThat in itself has made business writing a much broader oeuvre but  beyond new competition there has been a realisation more broadly that  business matters, that it is not just something of interest to accountants  and stock brokers. We live in a capitalist society, our everyday lives  are subject to the dismal science of economics – something reinforced  dramatically by the financial crisis of 2008, which continues to roil our  lives. \u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003eIn the first edition of a new annual anthology showcasing the best of  Australian business writing to be published by NewSouth in November  2012, editor Andrew Cornell shows that the best business writing has  always been about more than business: it is about history, ethics, crime,  intrigue, and morality. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NewSouth Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32018294472787,"sku":"9781742233628","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781742233628.jpg?v=1778023834","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/the-best-australian-business-writing-2012","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
