Where was the business press in the weeks and months leading up to the deepest financial crisis since the Great Depression? As our economy unraveled, journalists struggled to keep up with the story of the century, grappling with an alphabet soup of derivatives, backroom deals, and toxic financial instruments.

And ultimately, the questions it raises illuminate the heated debate about the media's role as guardians of our democracy.
