Through shooting economics for TV, Faisal Islam has begun to question how economics is presented on TV. He looks at how to visualise essentially nebulous financial concepts such as boom and bust, that have such power over the way we live our lives, and introduces us to The Graphs That Should Change The World.
Faisal Islam is Channel 4 News’ economics editor. He won the WorkWorld Foundation’s Broadcast News Reporter of the Year in 2010, and collected numerous awards for his coverage of the Icelandic banking crisis in 2009.
