Of course. No offense taken [img]smile.gif[/img] To answer your question, most people here learn basic economics in high school. I took an extended version of that course, though it doesn't really cover much more then the basics. Don't be too quick to dismiss Al Jazeera on topics such as this, by the way. I admit I don't know how it is done in the middle east. But down here, many journalists that specialise in economics are pretty highly qualified. Universities usually offer short courses in journalism. And reporters who specialise in economics or politics can count on a larger pay check then their counterparts. [img]smile.gif[/img]
