5 out of 5: Excellent Newspaper for All Readers
George Fisher, October 24, 2004

The Wall Street Journal has always been required reading for business people and finance wonks, but in the past several years the whole thing - reporting, layout, editorials -- has been overhauled and the result is one of the best general newspapers in America.

First of all, business, economics, finance, etc. are extremely important to everyone whether their profession involves these things or not. Everyone's lives are shaped by these things and it is important to understand them.

Second of all, a thoughtful counter point to the "liberal media" has long been lacking and the Wall Street Journal editorials fill the need ... read both the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times every day and you will likely hear two, thoughtful but opposing sides of all the major issues confronting our nation and world, from which you can begin to develop your own independent view.

I cannot recommend strongly enough that everyone subscribe to Wall Street Journal and read the WSJ every (week) day.
 

Of the printed daily newspapers, Wall Street Journal is easily the superior in just about every aspect that really matters. NYT has a lot more and better photographs, but they are best viewed on a computer screen. There's not much to argue (regarding the relatively conservative editorial page) in this review that hasn't already been written; and one more center-right Midwesterner's recommendation is not going to be of much incremental value. However, as an investor and consumer I can state that Wall Street Journal and its website Wall street Journal online, have been the primary source of credible information about businesses, law, finance and consumer products. Anybody that works for a living, has a mortgage or has a long-term savings plan would benefit from reading the WSJ as often as possible. There's simply no substitute.

5 out of  5: Highly Recommended

One of my Business professors, years ago told us to READ IT! I'm addicted. The "What's News" section (shaded area on the front page) if nothing else, needs your attention. The op-ed's are pretty good at times, however, I have had differences and have had them responded to. Conservative in nature, but highly informative. If your into business or studying business... get used to it. It's a great tool. The NYT business section is okay, but this paper is at the apex of the industry.
