Marianne Coleman

Marianne Coleman is an economic writer based in the United States, known for translating complex macroeconomic trends into clear, evidence-driven reporting. She began her journalism career covering state and municipal budgets, then moved to national desks to track the real-world effects of inflation, labor-market shifts, and federal policy. Over the past decade, she has written long-form explainers, earnings and sector breakdowns, and consumer-focused coverage that connects households to broader financial conditions. Her work has been recognized for rigorous sourcing and data transparency, including her periodic “What the numbers mean” series that helps readers interpret economic releases without jargon. Marianne regularly consults official datasets such as the BLS, BEA, and Fed publications, and she has developed a reputation for careful analysis during earnings seasons and major policy announcements. She continues to grow as a reporter by collaborating with researchers and economists to refine methodology and improve context for readers.
