The Wall Street Journal

The Wall Street Journal is an American business-focused, English-language international daily newspaper based in New York City. The Journal, along with its Asian and European editions, is published six days a week by Dow Jones & Company, a division of News Corp. The newspaper is published in the broadsheet format and online.

It is also, with a handful of other newspapers, the gold standard for print journalism in this country. Their editorial viewpoint skews well to the right, but you can take care of that by tearing off the last two pages of the first section and not reading them. I am aware that an editor has been charged with killing a juicy story about Trump. There are threads at DU about that.

Regardless, you don't get 40 Pulitzers for nuthin'.

There used to be some resistance to using it as a source at LBN, but that's in the past.

And: welcome to DU.
