Looking for a Deal on a Wall Street Journal Subscription?

The Wall Street Journal (the WSJ), is one of the world's premiere financial newspapers. Published by Dow Jones & Company, it has the largest circulation of any newspaper in the United States. Its name is derived from, you guessed it, the famous financial district Wall Street in New York City.

The Wall Street Journal - How It Began

The WSJ began in 1889, one year after its famous British counterpart, The Financial Times, which was first published in 1888. Charles Dow (from the Dow Jones), Edward Jones (from Edwards Jones investments), and Charles Bergstresser all had their hand in helping the WSJ become New York's source for financial news.

The Wall Street Journal Today

Today, the WSJ, in both online and print edition, is one of the most widely read and respected financial and business publications on the planet. In its 122 years of publication, it has won a whopping 33 Pulitzer Prizes, beginning with one for editorial writing in 1947. The WSJ has an online component that features most of the same content found in the print, plus more with real time updates, and the ability for users to comment and interact.

The WSJ has grown from 4 pages in its inception to 50-60 pages today, with the following regularly published sections: Section One (daily news), Marketplace (covers health, technology, media and marketing), Money and Investing, Personal Journal (personal investments and careers), Weekend Journal (personal interests including sports and travel), and Pursuits (lifestyle, restaurants, etc.).

Wall Street Journal - The Competition

The WSJ's biggest competitor is The Financial Times (the FT), based in London. Like the WSJ, it publishes International Editions specific to certain countries or territories, and offers online subscriptions. The Financial Times had its beginnings in 1888 when it was started by Horatio Bottomley. At the time, it was a four page journal whose circulation encompassed the city of London. The FT was bought by Pearson in 1957, and its online presence, FT.com, was launched in 1995. It is one of the few profitable UK news sites.
