Planet Money
Planet Money is a multimedia team covering the global economy. Created by NPR on the premise that a lot of people feel overwhelmed by the global economy and aren't finding information in most media outlets helpful, the blog serves up content that adheres to two rules: 1. Everything has to be interesting (and, preferably, fun or funny or poignant or somehow grabby). 2. Everything should be economically smart, but not economically dull.
