The image of your mom and/or dad walking out into the driveway with their robe on, coffee in hand and going to get the morning paper is fading fast. For some, as an adolescent your first job began as a paperboy/girl. This is where you would have had your first experience with time management, handling large sums of money and learning what it truly meant when someone told you “the customer is always right”. Most likely the paper you were delivering would be the local news. The Wall Street Journal was considered a paper read only by top executives. “In 2005, the Journal reported a readership profile of about 60 percent top management, an average income of $191,000, an average household net worth of $2.1 million, and an average age of 55”.[
The Wall Street Journal Online began in 1996. With regard to circulation, the WSJ is the largest newspaper in the United States. “The Journal primarily covers American economic and international business topics, and financial news and issues”. As an individual subscribing to the Journal, it can be quite pricey. Most people who do read the paper version are doing so because the company they are working for has purchased a subscription. By 2004 the Journal purchased an application that would allow readers to access the paper by phone. The Wall Street Journal is a smart read and highly recommended and can now be access for free with some limitations. I have included a link below explaining how this can be done.
