Wall Street Journal

Pros: Extensive financial and economic data; Award- winning journalists
Cons: Subscription price is high

When I’m asked to think of a financial news publication, the first one that pops into my head is the Wall Street Journal. This paper is a financial extravaganza with gobs of data on stocks, financial markets, economics, new products, and other...

Pros: Top-notch presentation of news.
Cons: Too bad the online site is paid.

Read the Wall Street Journal, not just for its reporting on what happened yesterday but to find out what you're going to be reading about in the near and not so near future. The Journal knows, and not simply because it helps set the agenda.

...

Pros: The nation's source for finance news and conservative daily opinion
Cons: None. This is essential reading.

OK, that's a bit of an exaggeration. But it's pretty close to the truth. There's really no excuse for not reading this newspaper. The Wall Street Journal is a daily newspaper published by Dow Jones, Inc. (yes, that Dow Jones). The paper ...

Pros: Doesn't just cover business
Cons: None content wise. The newspaper is wide though.

Being a type of college student that is an information sponge, I spend quite a bit of time reading up on current events. The Wall Street Journal is a must read if you are a business major, or in the business world. Just like the New York Times is to...

Pros: (1) The nation's best market coverage, period. (2) Wide-ranging feature writing from a top-notch news staff; (3) wicked cool lithographs
Cons: (1) Lifestyle coverage can get cloying; (2) the op-ed warrens come off as the nation's loopiest funny pages — but they aren't meant that way

YOU CAN LOVE THE JOURNAL. You can hate the Journal. You can do both at once. Lord knows they make it easy.

America's finest business paper by miles, the Journal offers up daily doses of financial market coverage and...

Pros: Concise article, great stock coverage...
Cons: A little pricey for a daily paper...

With the great surge that modern economy is experiencing, especially within the stock market, many sources of periodical literature have popped up all over the places, both online and on newsstands.

However, Wall Street Journal is one of...

Pros: Superb writers who bring business and finance to life.
Cons: Rabid editorials.

The front page of The Wall Street Journal gives the impression that while times have changed, the paper hasn't. The unmistakable look and feel is still there: the famous masthead, triple-decker headlines, and illustrations that look like they came...

Pros: Candid stories, varied subjects, something for everyone
Cons: $$$

I grew up in a household that got local city papers and I never cracked the Wall Street Journal in my childhood. In fact, whenever I saw someone reading it, I'd think them pretentious and trying to look important. What was I thinking?

I...

Pros: Good news, fun features
Cons: editorials, lack of comics

The Wall Street Journal is in its 120th year of publishing and first under the ownership of Rupert Murdoch's Newscorp. The Journal publishes a mix of straight news, financial data, opinion and lifestyle reporting. All of these aspects of the paper are ...

Pros: interesting articles
Cons: none that i can think of

The Wall Street Journal is perhaps the most useful source of financial information out there...Beyond the web's basic information.

In keeping up to date with the latest more important corporate information, I am given the resources to stay...

Pros: highly readable intelligent insightful newspaper - rivals the New York Times
Cons: no weekend edition

I'm a huge Wall Street Journal groupie. I used to only read the New York Times until a chance encounter with the Journal in a college coffeeshop and i've been a convert every since.

The Journal provides pithy analysis and insight into the...

Pros: High degree of journalistic integrity
Cons: Not my usual cup of tea, subject-wise

I expect that most of the devoted readers of the WSJ are, well, avid little pinstripers, chaps in trade, wannabe CEOs. Ignore that fact.

Yes, the _Journal_ is the source of first resort for beancounters, brokers, and Brooks Bros buyers. It...

Pros: World-class production; excellent writing; surprisingly broad topic coverage; trusted
Cons: Takes a long time to read - lots of material

I've been a subscriber to the Wall Street Journal since I was a junior in college, back in 1994. Even though I am not a high-flying entrepreneur or big-deal investor, I find the WSJ indispensable. The WSJ features timely coverage of a surprisingly wide...

Pros: Accurate, unbiased source of information
Cons: Somewhat difficult to navigate through

I have not always been a fan of WSJ. For a long time, I thought that WSJ was a boring collection of business stats that were reserved for brokers who had to use that information for a living.

I do business with a lot of corporations. More...

Pros: Easy to read and helpful
Cons: biased

this sis a little bit off of the topic of the Wall Street Journal, but I was not sure where to offer this epinion. Additionally, I think the Journal is a wonderful publication.

The danger that I mentioned in my opening is the stealth biased...
