Highlights for discussion:
1. Share with the audience your background and your story. Before starting Finance Feeds you worked at other media outlets covering the margin FX industry. Why have you decided to start Finance Feeds and what made you sell it?
2. Let's discuss major B2B media outlets for institutional FX. You have more institutionally centered ones like FXweek, eforex publication and also the ones covering the margin FX industry like finance magnates , leaprate, finance feeds, FNG that recently emerged.
3. Do you feel that there is enough industry coverage? If not, why aren't there more news outlets covering the market? Generally in the news space, numerous blogs and websites have entered the financial news business and have established themselves among traditional publications.
4. what is your assessment of industry’s journalistic standards such as accurateness, fairness, and objectivity? From my personal experience. I see a lot less investigative journalism and analysis but more of the republishing of the companies’ news. So that goes to the topic of the podcast: can you really trust what u see in the FX news sites?
5. Does the concept of investigative journalism exist in the B2B Fx space? Who do you think does a good job in this ?
6. Journalists today seem to be pressured to take a perspective in stories, express their own viewpoints, and take a more partisan approach in writing stories than in the past. Do you think this applies for FX journalism as well?
7. On the retail side of things, there are in fact many alternative outlets like directories, forums (like forexfactory) where traders find opinions, commentary and discussion. Can you trust these? Are there any new alternatives?
