Federal Reserve chair Kevin Warsh has adopted a communication style that involves saying less about the economy and inflation than his predecessors. This approach has not been well-received by many economists and Wall Street investors, who are seeking greater clarity on the central bank's policies. ## Disagreement on Warsh's communication strategy The Telegraph Herald reported that Warsh has stated he does not want to provide forward guidance on Federal Reserve policy, arguing it limits flexibility. The outlet also noted that Warsh believes financial markets have become too dependent on such guidance. However, the Associated Press reported that some economists argue Warsh could offer more insight into his views on Fed policy without revealing future moves. ## What the coverage left out None of the left or centre-rated reports mention the specific number of economists surveyed by CNBC for their opinion on Warsh's communication. BizToc's digest mentioned a survey of 31 economists, strategists, and investors, but this detail was not present in the other left or centre-rated digests or full reports. ## Who covered it Shares of the 15 covering outlets with a published leaning rating: - Left: 67% (10) - Centre: 33% (5) - Right: 0% (0) 3 of 18 covering outlets carried no usable leaning rating and were excluded from those percentages.
