The Economist magazine is a really good source for easy-to-understand economics explanations. The articles are written by actual economist that have a much better grasp of the concept than most reporters.
The magazine's online Web site has incorporated special audio briefing on topics currently in the forefront, including the bailout package, international economics and the presidential candidates' economic plans. I think the economists featured in the briefings do an effective job of explaining things simply.
With nearly 400 economic briefings, these audio clips are a great multimedia tool, especially considering the economy can be a pretty complex issue. Listening to explanations and proposed solutions from experts is helpful.

That's pretty awesome. It always worries me when I'm writing an article outside of my comfort zone that I'm, not explaining it well enough for my readers. it's hard to write on topics when you're not familiar with the topic at all, I think it kind of leaves you blind honestly.
It's awesome there are journalists who specialize in certain topics, I think it brings a much better understanding to audiences because they actually know what their talking about.
