Too Much Media Attention on Recession?
One of the places I go on a regular basis to read information is AllTop.Com. It’s not a news source in itself, but rather a news aggregator. It collects news and sources from all over the web and places them in approapriate categories. I suppose their category structure is supposed to reflect the level of coverge certain topics get but I noticed a couple of odd things about their category structure.
There are two categories dealing with the dire ecomonic situation. One is called Recession and the other is call Hard Times. At first glance, you might ask aren’t those the same thing? I know I did. But upon closer observation, I noticed that the Recession category deals more the effect of the recession on business and business strategies for coping with it. The Hard Times category is a kaleidoscope of all effects of the reccession.
I also notice there is no category for Home Based Business or Home Business there. Me thinks this means the media is spending too much time focusing on the recession rather than what can be done to work around or pass through that recession.
