I've had this for a year or so and genuinely can say how much I appreciate journalism again. I always thought this was just a very thick newspaper full of stock quotes but they cover just about anything that could be considered news, art, pop culture and even IT/cybersecurity. I subscribe to a lot of the news feeds and can honestly say I feel I'm a heck of a lot more informed about what's going on in the world while being heads-down doing the daily work grind.

The key is understanding the difference between the news section and the opinion/editorial section. Many papers blur the line (via story selection, choice of words for headlines, etc). The news section of WSJ is the most politically neutral I have found in a US news source. Any article you read online you should make sure you understand: am I reading an opinion piece, where someone can be loose with the facts and not even try to dig at all angles, or am I reading a news piece by someone with journalist integrity that is trying to present you all of the facts available to make your own opinions. I think most "news" that people read are opinion pieces.
That said, if you stray in to the Opinion section of the WSJ, which is easy to do, but they are clearly labeled as such, you will definitely see a strong bias toward conservative or Republican views.

Quote from lobo411 :
They have always been really good at covering wall street and business. Their news and opinion stuff was business conservative in perspective until the last decade, when it went full Maga. WSJ is still worthwhile for business coverage imo. Basically, any of the big papers (NYT, WaPo, LA Times) offers better general news coverage.
Comical.

Apple news provides access to many WSJ articles in addition to many more other emagazines. Would not subscribe to wsj alone.
Apple news provides just a fraction of the articles available on WSJ. I considered Apple News instead of individual subs but that is what I found out. Just my view....

Anyone know if WSJ carries pollical baggage? (owned by newscorp/murdoch family apparently). If this deal is to increase the influence on people's... perceptions, I'm gonna pass.

On the flip side, if it's neutral, it might be a better source of news vs other iffy news sources.
WSJ is about as balanced as you can get in the US (via major publication), without going to Substack for reporters like Taibbi and Greenwald (both good). FT is great for a more global perspective, but definitely leans EU /globalist with their coverage of events.

If you're on an Apple device and open any WSJ article from the website in Apple News, you'll be able to read it if you have Apple News+.

Is Barron worth $26 extra a year? Or is it mostly just opinions about stocks, which I find usually to be self-serving the market makers and hedge funds crowds, not us.
If it is the bundle that includes marketwatch.com then I think it is worth it between the three. I was disappointed that they put up a paywall but I suppose it is what it is. I will say that I totally dumped Motley Fool for the very reason you mention.

They all switched to this per week model so that people cannot cancel right away after subscription. Higher chance to forget and get charged for renew.

Just set up yourself a reminder to cancel November 1st 2024.

No, they haven't really got a comic section. You'll have to look at other papers for that.

You can safely assume that every media source has bias, especially the opinion sections. A person claiming otherwise probably just has the same bias as the sources that they consume and don't realize it.
My guess is to the reason why they're doing this is they're trying to pump up their numbers they can sell more advertising. I wouldn't be surprised if readership continues to slide, even in digital versions. IMHO

My library offers free 3 day access which is kind of a pain to resubscribe so often. Regardless of your current "subscription " status through the library WSJ will still send a pdf version of the paper daily via email. Nice little hack. Also if your library doesn't offer WSJ access Broward County FL offers a free digital library card to anyone.

Yes, it has slowly been Murdocked since news Corp bought it. The balance of news vs opinion has shifted dramatically. It's now to the point that WSJ is to NYT what Washington Examiner is to Washington Post. It's the New York Post without page 6.

After calling and checking with the customer support line, I was told that this offer is for new subscribers only. So, cancelling and then resubscribing will not work for the same account.

Really good point.... Is MArketwatch included? I'd say THAT is worth $26 per year as they do have decent but paywalled reporting.

Not a bad deal, WSJ has a tough paywall to get around, not sure if there are any good methods currently
