In today’s information-driven society, accurate and timely information has become as valuable as any other organizational resource. The historical need for information evolved significantly with the advent of printing, and today, individuals and organizations face an overwhelming flood of information from various media sources. This chapter examines the critical role of media in shaping consumers’ understanding and responses to economic news in a context where verifying accuracy is increasingly challenging. It explores how the accessibility, framing, and perceived credibility of economic information influence consumer behavior and, by extension, economic decisions at both individual and organizational levels. Additionally, the chapter considers how educational background and media literacy affect a consumer’s ability to assess the reliability of economic information, ultimately impacting economic choices and quality of life. Through this analysis, we aim to underscore the importance of media literacy and credible information sources in enabling informed economic decision-making in an age of rapid information dissemination.
