Featured Blog (Group 5): The Fiscal Times
The Fiscal Times is a blog focused on the economic and fiscal issues in the U.S. We chose this blog because their goal is to promote awareness of all things monetary involving the U.S. government. A LLC funded by Peter G. Peterson, they utilize a very credible set of reporters who have worked for various prestigious publications such as The Washington Post, New York Times and The Chicago Tribune. A small amount of contributing authors post on the blog and they all tend to be qualified in the subjects discussed. It includes a research center where you can access opinions, academic papers, surveys and charts. The “5 Questions” interview section is particularly interesting. We find the cartoon section very amusing as well.
