RTNDA offers new financial reporting section

The Radio-Television News Directors Association is offering a new financial reporting section with story ideas, case studies and resources for reporters. It has everything from story ideas for local scams and foreclosure auctions to how to prepare academics and economists for live television interviews.
One great piece of advice RTNDA gives that journalists don't follow enough is to follow the dominoes. Following the micro ripples of the recession through local communities shows readers that journalists care. It also displays the real human casualties in an economic collapse too often portrayed as nebulous and impersonal.

How are you following the dominoes? Comment and tell us how you're tracking the recession in your community.
