5 out of 5: Pricey, but high in quality

The articles are well written, and are all but guaranteed to contain the relevant information of the business world and beyond. If the Nation is talking about it over breakfast each morning, and the news networks are making use of their valuable "air time" to cover the story, then you can bet that the Journal is covering it too, and usually from a much deeper angle. When important news hits the airwaves today, it is prudent to check the journal for the "real story" tomorrow.
What may surprise most of you who are new to the journal is the range of topics found throughout the paper, as it isn't just a daily tally of the world of stocks. From entertainment to computing, it's all there (after all, business encompasses quite a bit).
 

Every newspaper and magazine likes to make the claim that its politics don't affect its reporting- but truthfully, the Wall Street journal is the only major paper that can make that claim. There's a wall between the news section and the editorial sections of the paper, and that wall reflects both the paper's policy and the demands of its readers.
The Wall Street Journal has always been the paper where America's (and the world's) financial community has looked first for news. When you're risking your own money, you don't want stories that stroke your personal opinions- you want unbiased facts. And that's what the Wall Street Journal has delivered for decades. Politics are kept to the Op-Ed pages.
I started reading the Wall Street Journal  back in grad school, when a friend who taught economics required it of all his students. It's now nearly 30 years later and I'm still a regular subscriber. In that time I've subscribed to and dropped the New York Times and various local papers, but the WSJ has been the one paper I've read continuously.
 

5 out of 5: Subscribe to Wall Street Journal

The United States has three national newspapers, of which USA Today is tripe, the New York Times is overweight, and the Wall Street Journal is the gold standard (small joke there :). I have read it almost every day for 30 years, for its news and opinion as well as to keep track of my money. Indeed, as the Journal and I get older, I find myself less interested in business news than in the rest of the paper. The most recent addition is the Personal Journal section that appears on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, and the Weekend Journal that bulks up the Friday paper. The last, I understand, will eventually grow into a Saturday edition of the Wall Street Journal. It's full of good stuff about travel, wine, books, theater, and (of much less interest to me) religion. The editorial page is famously conservative, but that's nicely balanced by the news pages, which are generally moderate and sometimes (in the case of the Washington opinion columns) liberal. Even the op-ed page carries a column by Albert Hunt, who is as comically leftish as the editorials are sometimes comically rightish. Altogether, this is the newspaper for the intelligent American, wherever he or she may live, and whatever his or her politics.

For many years I knew of but never read the Wall Street Journal because I assumed it contained only financial news. A few years ago a friend gave me a gift subscription, and I've been hooked ever since. Although the articles are often written according to a formula, which can get tiring, the paper as a whole contains absolutely the best quality writing of any newspaper I have found. If you want intelligent reporting, this is as good as it gets. It's also full of cultural commentary written by people who know what they are talking about: some of my favorites are the book reviews and weekend religion column. The Wall Street Journal has lately been trying to attract more readers like me, not only stock brokers and other Wall Street types, so you might want to give it a try, too. Like some of the other people who've already reviewed the paper on this site, I don't often agree with the editorials. It would be a good idea to balance your reading of this paper, with, say the New York Times if you want to get more than one perspective on the news.
