Abstract
Findings identified the different functions of economic news. Controlled press countries were mentioned more frequently in economic news around the world about one month before an increase and after a decrease in their GDP. This time lag reflected the use of economic news as a mean of propaganda to promote the country and strengthen its economy. Free press countries, on the other hand, were mentioned more frequently in economic news a few months before a decrease and after an increase in their GDP. In this case, economic news primarily functioned as a warning system for economic deviance.
