Thinking of getting newspaper subscription, taking suggestions

[samoth]

I've never had a newspaper subscription before. Parents always did, but only local ones like the Chicago Sun-Times and stuff. I guess I never realized these things cost like $3-400/year.

Thinking of WSJ or Financial Times. Suggestions? I'm looking for something more business/markets-oriented, but really have no idea what's out there.

WSJ is like $2.50 a week for the first year

that includes both the newspaper and online access

I'm a print-only guy, so I wouldn't even touch any online portion of a magazine.

A year of WSJ runs $120, and FT is $350, so it's certainly cheaper.

Go with WSJ. Usually a good read, even if it does tend to be a little pessimistic/doom bringing. FT is great too, but is it several hundred dollars better than WSJ? Think not...

Is there anything out there besides these two for business news? I hear highly of the Economist, but I couldn't get through a single boring article the couple times I flipped through it. The NYT has a decent section or two, but I wouldn't read most of it.

Hey, I've never done this before.

Besides, it's not like you're threads are any more entertaining.

You're welcum

The Economist is ok... it has shifted significantly to the left politically even since I started reading it. That said, it's still a pretty good read. Relatively moderate as printed news goes, and it usually does pretty well presenting facts. But you're right, can be dry.

I'd probably go with WSJ over Econ. 2 cents.

I get Bloomberg mags from my dad... they're okay, but not news-y enough for someone that has no idea what's going on in the world.

WSJ is really all you need.
