Editorial Reviews:

From Amazon.com
Few newspapers enjoy the prestige and authority of The Wall Street Journal. Its distinctive six-column format delivers news from around the world along with comprehensive business and market coverage that make it a must-read for corporate America. But the Journal covers more than just business--column four on the front page features intelligent and eclectic stories that are among the most widely read in America; Friday's "Weekend Section" takes on film, leisure, wine, music, and sports; and its probusiness editorial page will make any capitalist's heart glow. The Wall Street Journal is an ideal gift for students, corporate types, and anyone wanting to listen in on the national dialogue. --Harry Edwards

5 out of 5 stars Well written, best newspaper   November 12, 2007
The WSJ is very well written and is entertaining. I subscribe to a local paper for local news, but always rely upon the WSJ for national unbiased news. I especially look forward to the Personal Journal section with news you can use in your life.

I just dropped my subscription to Smartmoney magazine, because I find the same information in the Journal, except several weeks earlier.



5 out of 5 stars Still The Best Paper In The USA.   September 7, 2007
  32 out of 33 found this review helpful

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.



5 out of 5 stars Suggestion to Get a WSJ Subscription   June 24, 2007
  0 out of 2 found this review helpful

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").

And the most important reason:

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.



5 out of 5 stars The only editorial page in America that sells newspapers   June 8, 2007
If you are going to still buy a newspaper in this digital age, make it the Wall Street Journal. There is no better paper in the world.

Concise and filled with the highest levels of accuracy, the Journal is indispensable to anyone seeking to be fully informed on the major issues of the day.

With the addition over the last few years of the daily section "Personal Journal", the Wall Street Journal brings more helpful information of personal value in all the areas of today's life than any other publication.

Spend your subscription money wisely - invest in yourself. You will get personal "returns" when you buy the Wall Street Journal.



5 out of 5 stars Check your delivery method !   May 9, 2007

The paper is great, you don't need me to tell you that. The problem starts with delivery, if you live in an area with carrier delivery, AND your carrier isn't a total flake you can expect your paper each and every morning. That's when I like my WSJ, I can grab it and jump in the car and read it while I should be working. If your carrier is a flake your paper will show up late, if at all. My last carrier left me to wonder where the last three issues ended up. If you're in an area not served by a carrier the paper with me delivered via USPS, for me that means about 3pm, at that point the paper is only good for starting fires.
