Alec Hogg on BizNews doubling down on its core offering - and also launching a fresh share portfolio

BizNews founder Alec Hogg joins Bronwyn Nielsen to reflect on the 12-year journey from startup to multimedia platform. They explore BizNews’ pivot from the political economy, the privilege of building a loyal audience, and the renewed focus on business journalism. Alec unpacks lessons learned, ownership rumours, and why Benjamin Franklin’s aphorism that “knowledge pays the best interest” remains the organisation’s guiding principle. The discussion also announces the launch of the Ricardo portfolio, set to debut at the end of the month on the EasyEquities platform, marking an exciting new chapter for the BizNews community.
