Customer Reviews of The Wall Street Journal [1-year subscription]

Still The Best Paper In The USA.
First: the papers market coverage is the best in the USA. The Regular wrap-up features & the Heard On The Street column give colorful nuances to the information. The amount of information itself can be overwhelming to absorb. From the NYSE, junk bonds, to blue chips, this paper is good for both the casual, or serious investor. For me the often underpublicized & finest part of the paper is the investigations & feature reporting. The Journals reporters seem to have more freedom over their work than their competitors, & this approach pays off. Most times column four of the front page has a story that will disgust the reader, or he/she will laugh out loud. It is odd & a bit sad the WSJ's staff rarely gets their kudos when compared to the Washington Post or NYTimes. Also, of note: the special sections the paper runs from time to time on technology, e-bussiness, international markets, mutual funds, & education are often exceptional. This is usually the part of the paper I enjoy most, because they come at the story presented from most every angle possible. Now the negatives: the paper should stick to the areas I've just described. The arts & lifestyle coverage is mediocre & is less well done & in depth than say the NYTimes. Only Joe Morgenstern's movie reviews are occasionally worth raeding. Granted, I rarely go to the movies. Lastly, the editorial pages are often the ideological opposite of those which one finds in the Times. I like them, & often agree with their "Milton Friedman" points of view. But, like the Times they give little room for opposing perspectives. Still, it is the nations best newspaper.

Suggestion to Get a WSJ Subscription
There are many reasons to ditch every other paper and just get this one (okay, and maybe also The Onion.) But here are the best ones I can think of: 1. The human interest articles on the front page are fascinating. 2. They're not above printing somebody's opinion piece and then shredding the author on the opposing page. 3. Once in a while there's a colorful exchange of letters to the editor between bitter enemies (eg Dershowitz and Finkelstein). 4. Mossberg and his technology column. 5. It is just downright freaky how timely or topical some of the articles are. 6. The editorials are smart (others use the term "conservative"). <

>7. Because the most important and the most powerful people in the world read this paper, and I want to know what they're reading.
