EconReporter（Econ記者） is an independent Traditional Chinese online media project based in Toronto, Canada. It aims to break the stereotype that “economic news equals financial news,” arguing that “economic news is about more than just finance.” By combining macroeconomic news with academic economics research, it offers readers a perspective that differs from traditional business media.
The site’s content is divided into several major sections: macroeconomic news covering the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and other regions; an “Economics” column featuring interviews with economists, explainers on key economic terms, economics book recommendations, and discussions of behavioral economics; and a “Research Storage Room” for deeper academic discussions such as monetary policy. It also includes lighter columns such as “膠事錄” and editor’s notes, giving the publication a more personal touch.
All articles and academic explainers on the site are free to read, with no paywall. Its operations are funded in part by on-site advertising and voluntary reader donations via PayPal, a typical survival model for a small independent media outlet.
Its strength lies in its distinctive “academia + journalism” approach. It not only reports on macro events such as Federal Reserve rate meetings and CPI data, but also explains the academic logic behind them, such as the Solow Growth Model, making it highly valuable for educational purposes. The downside is that the site is built on a traditional blog-style architecture, with a somewhat dated UI and an average reading experience. As an independent outlet, its update frequency and news timeliness also struggle to compete with major financial media organizations.
It is especially suitable for economics students, macroeconomic researchers, and Chinese-speaking readers who want to go beyond stock market ups and downs to better understand the academic logic behind global economic phenomena.
The site uses Traditional Chinese and is hosted on overseas servers. It can be accessed directly from mainland China, but due to the physical distance of the servers and the lack of global CDN acceleration, loading speeds may be relatively slow. Access stability for some pages containing sensitive macroeconomic data may depend on network conditions.
