My Wall Street Journal Subscription

I’ve been a reader of the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) since I was in graduate school. At De La Salle University-Manila, I would read the Asian Wall Street Journal back in 2005 to 2009 before my classes begin. My university was a subscriber of the defunct Asian edition of the Wall Street Journal.

I’m a subscriber of the New York City-published daily newspaper. I selected the bundle package, in which, besides the Wall Street Journal, I also have access to MarketWatch, Barron’s, and other Dow Jones and Company paywalled publications. I like the WSJ app because it is streamlined, effortless to use, and makes the news portal easy to navigate.

I want to share some images below, which are related to my subscription to the economic-focused international broadsheet. You will find that I save a lot of articles. I really do, as I’m always busy that I don’t have much time to read the interesting WSJ news and feature stories. Hence, I need to save them and read when I have free time.

Moreover, I save many news articles via my Twitter account, which I use as a news site. I usually e-mail the articles to myself and try to find the time to read them.

The Wall Street Journal is among my preferred business and finance information and news sources, aside from Bloomberg, MarketWatch, The Financial Times, CNBC, and The Economist. This business news outlet, which is one of the world’s most respected financial publications, keeps me updated regarding the latest happenings in the financial sector.

The Wall Street Journal, which started circulating in the United States on July 8, 1889 — that is, 134 years ago— informs me about what’s new and relevant in the world markets, fund management, international finance, international business, personal finance, international economics, investment management, and other money-related fields.

Additionally, the Journal, which Dow Jones and Company publishes six days weekly, has helped me in my digital content writing career. I find this business newspaper a reliable source of finance and markets-related reports and more.

There are many Wall Street Journal writers who I find inspiration from and whose stories I follow on Twitter. One of them is Christoper Mims whose stipple appears below.

He is a technology columnist who explains tech terms lucidly, including the differences between Web 1, Web 2, and Web 3. Christopher is also a published author.

I’ll continue to be a Wall Street Journal reader for the rest of my life. I don’t have patience with yellow journalism and anything related to gossip and fake news. The Wall Street Journal allows me to spend my free time productively and meaningfully, and that’s what I want as an intellectual.

Below are more images of Wall Street Journal articles I like and saved for reading later when I’m free:
