The comments in this article are offered in the spirit of being helpful, although offered with all due humility, because the author is not an economist but only plays one on TV, which another contributor to this session, Klaus Zimmerman (2004, 403), diplomatically points out is "'inadequate for conveying truly profound messages." All of the authors referred to in this article, talk about economists having an obligation to educate a broader public. Out of a deep devotion to democracy and the enlightened electorate it presupposes, and adding the motivation of self-interest (given the fact that they get paid to reach that public), most journalists strongly encourage this sense of obligation, In a sense, it is their free lunch, although society, of course, is ultimately paying for it and thus has earned the obligation. This article evaluates various articles relating to economic education and journalism written by authors such as Klaus Zimmerman; Dan Hamermesh; and Glenn Hubbard. The author concludes conspicuously absent in these articles is a question that most likely applies to both businessperson and economist alike, that is, how to avoid being misrepresented.
