Not in all cases, but in enough cases to make it worth the read. It's not like so many articles, where you read it, find it somewhat interesting, then realize you can't possibly apply it to your own situation. With the Wall, I usually find one story or more per issue that gives me some insight I can apply. Actually I subscribe to both the online and paper versions, and find that I read the paper version while traveling and the online version at work. Great site, by the way.

It's been worth the money in my opinion. I also prefer the paper. Got the online subscription, too, but I think I wasted $ there as I don't think I'll ever read it online.

Last summer in my semi-annual review time, I did a little study of which publications generated the most articles that I thought were worth keeping. Note that business news is one of my passions, but leadership/management/supervision in all forms is a passion and so are books. Two publications accounted for about 60 percent of my clippings all by themselves They were the Journal and the New York Times. Close to them was The Economist.

I don't subscriber to WSJ, but I'm pretty convinced by this, and another previous mention of yours, to start. Is the same content available on the web? I'd also like to mention how much I like your blog. I'm a typical shy lurker, but a post (on another blog) about how much bloggers appreciate comments, convinced me to let you know that this is one of my favorite blogs :) Don't retire, i love your refreshing and honest perspective. O, and do you read the Economist? That's my current read--weekly, global and reasonably indepth. Hi Rob!

What has changed is the way those brands are crafted to achieve the emotional connection with their core audience. With publications, their content is truly their relevant differentiating benefit -- it is what makes the WSJ resonate in your (and my) mind in a way that others in the space just can't touch. And I too just reupped my subscription last week for many of the same reasons you did. My point of view has always been that brands are more important now than ever.

Yes, I love business news, but it's also about the original content and investigative reporting that few other newspapers seem to do anymore. Content is king! I don't need to read about stuff that happened yesterday and has already been repeated about 100 times by the time the newspaper arrives. Like I wrote on my blog www.impleader.com, papers must provide what readers can't get elsewhere, not another rehash of stale news. The WSJ does this and the recent changes have made the paper much better in my opinion. Now, it's easy to hold, easier to find continuing stories, and there's less of the general news everyone already knows. Great job!

Some days I find things. Other days I don't. The reason I read it is for the randomness what what they will bring him. Blogs play off the popular and controversial. WSJ gives me depth behind some of the big things going on. Their coverage of health care in the last year has been stellar. Add to that the backdating scandal that they first uncovered. Everyone in business should read it every day. You do know someone else who subscribes to the Wall Street Journal. I read it every day. Some days I find things. Other days I don’t.

It started with the Friday edition, because of the wine column. Then I'd occasionally get other editions. Finally I started subscribing and go into withdrawals if I don't have my fix. For the very same reasons that you've mentioned, plus the fact that there are interesting stories all the time that I wouldn't necessarily come across by a targeted news search.
