What is your main source for economic news?

And is a subscription to the Wall Street Journal worth it?

Does Business Week count? I've had a subscription for 8 years now and I love reading it every week.

I try to read The Economist and Bloomberg BusinessWeek cover to cover each week.
The Economist is a tough read, but provides a true global perspective. Bloomberg BusinessWeek is a little more on the entertaining side (with great content) and has a great iPad app.
I also have a subscription to WSJ, but haven't found a way to work it into my routine yet. It's something I'd like to develop, but now I'll stick with The Economist/Bloomberg each week and Twitter throughout the day.

I've been thinking about doing an online subscription. Lately, I've just been reading the weekend editions.

Tip for Cheap People: Sign up for a Wall Street Journal student subscription at LINK
Also..if you are an Audible subscriber, I just found out that you now get the WSJ audio for free with your subscription. They offer a 50 minute recap of the morning WSJ each day. I'm going to give it a shot on the way to the office tomorrow and we will see how it is.

Question from a cheap person: do I have to prove I'm a student?
Posted on 5/20/15 at 10:47 pm to Stingray
No you do not. Just pick a local college and professor. It works out to be like $30 bucks a "semester".

Eta: I think I will do the audible thing, or take a look at the economist.

Not to hijack your thread, I have to ask, what is the best way to approach reading the Wall Street Journal? I tried for 2 years to include it in my daily routine, but reading the journal can be a full time job in itself.

OP- WSJ is worth it, IMO. It's pricey, but you can try the student thing(never tried) or you can try to split it with a friend.
If you don't have the freedom to browse while "on the clock", you can wake up earlier and cherry pick articles. Always need to hit the "front page" and their op-eds are the best in the biz.

To provide an update, I tried the WSJ Audible podcast this morning and it was pretty good. It is basically a 45 minute audio overview of the key topics in todays WSJ (Finance, Economics, World News, etc).
Much like the guy above me, I have struggled reading all of the WSJ on a daily basis. This could be a pretty solid supplement along with browsing WSJ.com throughout the day.
You have to have a subscription to Audible to get this, but I think Audible is worth it either way.

Is that daily and what time of day?
Posted on 5/21/15 at 9:37 pm to Lou Pai
If the above question is to me in regards to the Audible WSJ content, yes it is daily. It basically reports the highlights of the WSJ for the day.
I can't speak to what time it is posted, but I do know it's available by 7am CST.

I did the WSJ $12 for 12 weeks student deal my last two years of college. I wasted plenty of papers but WSJ is the best source imo.

For those seeking free sources, Bloomberg is a good resource.

Appreciate it, I will look to get that.

The WSJ is the easiest paper in the country to read. They give a little headline of every major article in the paper on the front page and then do sort of the same thing at the top of each section. You get to know which sections have the information you like to see and got straight to.
(I really like the sports page they put out BTW. They take a different approach to sports and know they are not a daily sports paper. )
I really like their online version too. It is very well laid out.
The WSJ is the only print addition newspaper I still subscribe too. I find myself using the online version more but I still like to see the paper.
