The Wall Street Journal is nothing less than
America's true newspaper of record, a window on the
world of business, finance, international affairs, and
all the delicious little nuggets of news that would
otherwise slip through the cracks. I am a media
carnivore: I am news-addicted. And I like
Wall Street Journal newspaper.
I get my news in hourly, massive
slabs: from CNBC, from CNN, from the Internet---and best
of all, in the brain-shatteringly early hours of the
morning in the form of my daily Wall Street Journal
(kudos goes, as well, to my unfailingly faithful
early-rising Journal deliveryman). With that high praise
I also must dispatch a warning to the curious: if you
subscribe to the Wall Street Journal---and if you want to be
informed and ahead of the game, then you must! you'll
discover, possibly for the first time, intense agonies
of Guilt.

The Wall Street Journal is, every
single day, chock full of so many juicy, delicious,
insanely informative, amazingly well-written, positively
balanced nuggets of journalism on finance, politics,
economics, technology, market trends, literary
explosions-so much, in fact, that it's an embarrassment
of riches. If you're busy -and who isn't?-then you
simply won't have time to read everything. This is a
good reason to get a wall street subscription.
Like Caesar's Roman
Gaul, The Wall Street Journal is also divided into three
parts: the Front page, Marketplace, and Money &
Investing. Page One is my beachhead in the morning: I
scan the middle two columns for the financial and
geopolitical earth movers-and if I have the time, I can
dig into the paper for all the gory details. |

The news here is uniformly
objective: opinion is cut out, the wounds cauterized,
and the unbiased opinion itself served up piping hot on
the Wall Street Journal's editorial page. Marketplace deals with
macro and micro business trends, and is always
engagingly written.
Sometimes the supplement
"Personal Journal" accomplices the fleet out; more often
than not, there's another tasty little section dealing
with mutual funds, technology trends, industry
strategies, and quite a bit more. It's a veritable
treasure-house of knowledge, and since Gordon Gekko was
right-the most valuable commodity in the world is
information-the Wall Street Journal serves as purveyor
of that most critical, that most precious commodity. |

So get a wall street
subscription, I say;
The Wall Street Journal is an important, glorious,
massively influential American institution. It's your
window on the World of affairs. It's what the movers and
shakers of the British Empire might have read had the
Empire survived into the 21st century: and yes, you have
the news of the world, at your fingertips, hauled back
from the Journal's far-flung outposts across the globe:
from Hong Kong, London, Kuala Lumphur.
Sincere Kudos to the
Wall Street Journal's officer corps: Karen Elliott House, the
Publisher; Paul Steiger, Managing Editor; and Paul
Gigot, Editorial Page Editor---and the brilliant,
dedicated, blindingly talented team of reporters that
work with them. Bravo! For a decade now, not a morning
has dawned without my Journal: it is my polestar and
compass. It is a tasty read. Stop gawking and subscribe
to Wall Street Journal. |
