Abstract

In the context of globalization and rapid information exchange, economic news has become one of the primary sources through which individuals, institutions, and governments interpret economic realities. This article provides a comprehensive and in-depth analysis of economic news in English, focusing on its linguistic structure, communicative functions, and educational significance. The study applies discourse analysis and content analysis methods to examine how economic information is produced, structured, and interpreted in leading international media outlets. Special attention is given to the challenges faced by non-native English speakers in understanding complex economic terminology and data-driven narratives. The results indicate that while economic news ensures the dissemination of critical information, its complexity often limits accessibility. Therefore, the article proposes pedagogical strategies to enhance comprehension and promote economic literacy.
