Get in Touch With Economyfieldnotes

What we can help with

Economyfieldnotes exists to explain economic and financial concepts clearly, so most messages we receive fall into a few categories: questions about terminology used in a specific article, requests to clarify how two related figures differ, and corrections when a reader believes a fact or comparison needs revisiting.

We are not able to offer personalized financial guidance, comment on individual companies or products, or recommend any course of action regarding money, investments, or credit. If a message asks for that kind of input, we will explain the boundary and, where possible, point toward the general educational material already on the site.

Before you write in

If your question concerns a specific piece, it helps to include the topic area, such as inflation news, banking news, or employment report news, along with the general subject line so we can route it to the right editorial section quickly.

For questions about broader coverage choices, such as why the site compares certain measures the way it does across financial market news or corporate news, feel free to ask directly. We keep a record of common questions and use them to improve future explanations across the site.

How we respond

Messages are read by the editorial team responsible for maintaining the site's explanatory content. We aim to respond within a reasonable timeframe, though volume varies, and more detailed questions about methodology may take longer to answer thoroughly than short factual queries.

Replies focus on explanation and correction rather than opinion. If a comparison in an article turns out to be outdated, for instance because a new interest rate decision or a fresh set of quarterly earnings reports has shifted the picture, we update the relevant page and note the change where appropriate.

Other ways to reach us

You can write to us using the email address or phone number listed on this page, or send correspondence to our mailing address if you prefer a written record. All three channels reach the same small editorial team, so there is no need to contact more than one.

We welcome feedback from readers across the spectrum of experience with economic topics, from those encountering federal reserve news for the first time to those who follow global financial news closely. Every message helps us judge whether our comparisons are landing as intended.
