Wall Street Journal Online


It's a newspaper, it's a Web site--it's all of the information that comes rolled up in every edition of The Wall Street Journal and much more, available online. Anyone who wants to stay on top of U.S. and international news, especially economic and technology-oriented stories, will find The Wall Street Journal Online to be a valuable asset. Forbes has called it "simply the best business news site on the Web."

The interactive Journal delivers stock quotes on demand, continually updated news, a customized news- and portfolio-tracking service, access to extensive archives, and "briefing books" for 22,000 companies and more than 7,000 U.S. mutual funds. Subscribers also get exclusive access to Barron's Online, which, in addition to all of the content in the print edition, contains online-only commentary, analysis, and features.

Readers who are familiar with the print edition will not be surprised by the interactive Journal's personality: it looks a lot like the paper version, and it's just as staid as its paper counterpart. Navigation is intuitive and ease of use is... impeccably simple.

Unlike the print journal, this version follows you to work and around the world. All you need is your password and laptop to carry this invaluable business partner to any meeting, anywhere.

Features:

  • Full text of The Wall Street Journal, plus breaking news throughout the day
  • Customized news and portfolio tracker
  • In-depth searching of Journal archives
  • Exclusive access to Barron's online, comprehensive company information
  • Start-up kit and mousepad mailed to new subscribers


The Lowdown: The online version allows access to more current information - for instance, the many mergers that happen before the bell on Monday morning - that you can't get from the print subscription. In addition, the email updates are great. The site/publication is not graphics heavy and remains as always an extremely well written, well thought out newspaper edition. All the benefits of the newspaper without the paper. If you have the ability to afford slightly less than a dollar a week on an electronic subscription I recommend you give this a try.
