| The following page provides links to regional news providers all over Australia. These resources allow rural students to track economic developments in their own localities but they also make interesting reading for all economics students. Many Government initiatives such as the extension of a TAFE college have a small impact on city economies but a large one on the economies of small country towns. Similar reports can be found describing the impact of new businesses on a small country town. These articles often make basic economic linkages between investment and employment for example clearer than those which occur in the National Press.These resources offer ample coverage of these kinds of events. Frequently the language is less complex and may be suitable for use with NESB students. Teachers who study rural economies may be tempted to construct an R index which involves tallying the frequency with which the R word is used in the local press. This provides a rough measure of economic confidence in the region. |
