The answer

There appears to be no Sharia-based impediment to your work in transmitting, reading, and translating news, unless it involves endorsing something forbidden or promoting an evil. It is also permissible to publish data regarding interest rate forecasts, due to their impact on permissible transactions such as currency trading and investment, even though interest itself is from the forbidden usury of loans.
