Do the media really want to cover stories about smaller companies? Aren’t they more interested in big Fortune 500 companies?
Journalists love to cover successful, dynamic small companies. Small business growth is the fastest-growing sector of the U.S. economy. More and more people are quitting their big corporate jobs to strike out on their own, and their courageous achievements make exciting material for business journalists. Big companies suffer from a tarnished image in today’s world. There is a huge demand for stories about the little guy who works hard and comes out on top. There is just as much room in the news for great small companies as there is for great big companies.
