About this Episode
This podcast is a paid partnership with ALFI.
In this episode of Money Talks, Mihaela speaks with two experienced journalists who translate complex developments into stories people can understand: Cordula Schnuer, editor-in-chief of the Luxembourg Times, and Raymond Frenken, managing editor at Investment Officer.
Cordula and Raymond explain why journalism is not a substitute for financial education but an essential part of the learning environment. Good reporting, they argue, equips readers with context, vocabulary and reliable information so they can make their own financial choices.
The discussion explores:
- why clear language and context matter when reporting on financial topics
- the growing influence of social media “finfluencers” and the risks of unverified information
- how service journalism helps readers understand real-life issues like pensions, taxes and the cost of living
- why compound interest remains one of the most powerful concepts young investors should understand
- and how simple habits like automating savings or investing early can shape long-term financial security.
The conversation also offers a look inside the newsroom: from the words journalists would happily ban from headlines to the myths about investing that deserve to disappear.
