- Introduction
Economics Coverage
The Commentators section of the Economics Roundtable compiles links to news and opinions from a wide range of web sites. The intent is to select items related to economics. Sites are selected on the basis of how difficult it is to separate the economics content from the political, personal, etc. content. No effort has been made to screen sites on the basis of any agreement or disagreement with the content.
A Note for Prospective and Current Commentators
The Economics Roundtable is not a forum for news about your cat/dog/hamster, details of last night’s date/dinner/dancing, opinions about politicians/wars, weather reports, movie reviews, or your blog’s need for donations. The editorial policy aims to feature only economics.
Blogging software generally includes the ability to tag each entry with a “category” or “subject”. For some blogs, the Roundtable just lists 100% of the entries, tolerating the occasional off-topic post. For other blogs, the Roundtable picks up specific categories (e.g, “economics") or excludes specific categories (e.g., “politics"). If your blog is not a very high percentage “economics,” then using meaningful categories/subjects may still make it possible to get listed on the Roundtable.
Schedule
The “Recent Entries” page carries entries for a 24 to 48 hour period. At about midnight Pacific Time (U.S.), the list is trimmed to the previous 24 hours. Throughout the day, the list then grows to include 48 hours of entries. This means that if you check the “Recent Entries” page during the day on Tuesday, you will see all of Monday and part of Tuesday. Daily visitors receive complete coverage.
