Wall Street Journal

Pros: Well-Written, No Frills, Doesn't insult your intelligence.
Cons: I only regret that it is published but 5 times a week.

The Wall Street Journal is easily the best-written newspaper in America. I know this both as a reader and a journalism student.

Best Written
As a Journalism student, I am often assigned to read articles in this publication...

Pros: Excellent financial paper
Cons: Heavily slanted Editorial page

I have been a subscriber to the Wall Street Journal for over two years and have been reading the paper on and off for the last twelve years. I can say that I have learned from the paper and that it has kept me up to date on many of the latest dealings...

Pros: Easy to read, in depth reporting, reliable writers
Cons: Occasionally a little thick with ads

The big choice in morning business papers is whether to buy the Wall Street Journal or Investors Business Daily (IBD). In actuality, there is no choice. The Journal wins the contest and it is not even close.

Why is the journal superior?...

Pros: The best for business, influential and easily available, written for an intelligent readership, Al Hunt
Cons: Conservative editorial/op-ed page, too much business not enough general news

My title is not intended as a slight to women, particularly those interested in business and finance, and therefore those who read the Wall Street Journal. The title aims to get at the style of the newspaper more than anything. The Journal is...

Pros: Interesting Articles
Cons: No Sports Section

Read this paper! It's at your work somewhere. Find it! Read it!

All it takes is 15 minutes a day. Here's how:

Section A: Look at the three main columns-left, middle, and right. These columns only have one article each. If...

Pros: Top notch business news, Weekend section Fridays
Cons: Right-wing editorial views

The Wall St. Journal is ideally read on the train on your way into The City. (Doesn't matter which city as long as it's The City). If you don't have that kind of life, then every experience of the paper will be that much less authentic.
It's also...

Pros: well written
Cons: doesn't come out on the weekends

The Wall Street Journal is the best-written newspaper in America. Forget the tiresome trendy pinko New York Times--the Journal is written for thinkers and arguers, not ideologues. The Wall Street Journal is certainly pro-capital, pro-business,...

Pros: UnBiased, Quick Read
Cons: Section C

Each morning it arrives at my doorstep. I immediately toss out the "Money & Investing" section and turn to the front page for a quick review of the serious business I missed since 8PM the night before.
It's a quick read and I love it...

Pros: Has stood the test of time
Cons: Not available online for free

I had to subscribe to the Wall Street Journal for a semester when I took the BUS 460 Organizational Theory and Behavior class at my college in Fall 1999. It was worth it.

And I have links to all parts of the paper that are available online...

Pros: Definitive financial reporting, online article library, personal news views
Cons: Need web access

I have subscribed to WSJ Interactive for the past two years. Unless you need to get a physical newspaper every day or don't have Web access (unlikely if you are here), it is a better deal than the paper subscription, which is $175 a year. And you get...

Pros: Well written
Cons: Expensive

The Wall Street Journal provides the Nation's news in a concise format. The paper which is written on a "higher grade level" than most newspapers provides readers with all the important headlines in short order. This makes choosing what...

Pros: Best features on economics, business and technology.
Cons: none

One day a month ago I opened my door and near my foot was a Wall Street Journal with my name and address on it. I was puzzled and did not know where it came from. Nonetheless, I read it very happily. Three or four weeks passed when I received an...

Pros: accurate facts and details
Cons: Costs $.75, not for the casual investor

The Wall Street Journal is perhaps the best readily available financial newspaper out there besides the Investors News Daily. The Wall Street Journal is easy to pick up each day on the way to work or at lunch and it provides a very detailed look...

Pros: fantastic writing and news coverage of most of the basics
Cons: not nearly enough in-depth research of the facts: trusts the government bureaucracy and its reports too much

as a news professional, i have relied heavily upon wsj every morning for the basics and for newsworthy articles before scouring other major papers, locals, and stations for additional information which wsj might have missed. wsj's intended devotion to...

Pros: to the point, balanced
Cons: few graphics, very gray

I'm a college student new to investing. I use an online broker. I like hip hop music and other hip things, and I also like the Wall Street Journal. Before you jump back in amazement, consider what I have to say. The Journal delivers the vital info I need...
