The Wall Street Journal is an English-language international daily newspaper published by Dow Jones & Company, a division of News Corporation, in New York City, with Asian and European editions. As of 2007, it has a worldwide daily circulation of more than 2 million, with approximately 931,000 paying online subscribers. [2] It was the largest-circulation newspaper in the United States until November 2003, when it was surpassed by USA Today. It would later regain its number one position in the United States in October of 2009. [3] Its main rival is the London-based Financial Times, which also publishes several international editions. The Journal newspaper primarily covers U.S. and international business and financial news and issues—the paper's name comes from Wall Street, the street in New York City that is the heart of the financial district. It has been printed continuously since being founded on July 8, 1889, by Charles Dow, Edward Jones, and Charles Bergstresser. The newspaper has won the Pulitzer Prize thirty-three times,[4] including 2007 prizes for its reporting on backdated stock options and the adverse effects of China's booming economy.[5][6] Journalist Clarence Barron purchased control of the company for US$130,000 in 1902; circulation was then around 7,000 but climbed to 50,000 by the end of the 1920s. Barron and his predecessors were credited with creating an atmosphere of fearless, independent financial reporting—a novelty in the early days of business journalism.[8] Barron died in 1928, a year before Black Tuesday, the stock market crash that greatly effected the Great Depression in the United States. Barron's descendants, the Bancroft family, would continue to control the company until 2007.[8]

From The Wall Street JournalLawmakers are trying to crunch 2,079 pages of health-insurance overhaul proposals into a sweeping new law.

7. Is the Recession Spawning a Do-it-Yourself Generation or Have we Always Been This Way?
October 02, 2009
In reading a recent Wall Street Journal article regarding home haircuts (“Per Capita Savings: Home Barbering Grows in Recession, with Hairy Results”, Wall Street Journal August 31st, 2009), and reading the ensuing comments on the web, it seemed that, even in these recessionary times, many people still balk at the idea of doing things like cutting your own hair at home. But why? Haven’t you ever changed your own oil, painted your own living room, hung your own drywall, or watched your own kids? These are all things that some people pay other people to do as a service, but we choose to do them ... (read more)

September 18, 2009
"Electricity Prices Plummet," The Wall Street Journal, August 12, 2009
Hey, is there a recession going on? This timely article details how slack demand for electricity in 2009 may lead to the first consecutive year decline in electricity use in the U.S. since 1950. Such news may tempt some consumers to relax an otherwise robust commitment to reducing home and business electricity consumption. Conservation and energy efficiency are hard work, and harder still to turn into regular habits, especially when energy costs are low.

11. Laid off Professionals- There is no Recession in this Business!
September 02, 2009
Today I read a series of articles in the Wall Street Journal documenting the job searches of laid off professionals with MBA degrees.

While I was reading these stories , I felt very sad at their stories of being out of work for months, some going into their second year of unemployment and having children, mortgages and expenses to cover with no source of income.

16. Don't Shop Whole Foods

Don’t Shop Whole Foods By Sandy Powers
Interestingly, the Wall Street Journal and Whole Foods CEO John Mackey largely kept mum during the spending frenzy of the Bush Years. Nary was a word spoken about the huge increase in the Debt. Now it is an overwhelming concern for them both. Universal Health Care Reform. Curious, Mackey brags about Whole Foods Market paying 100% of premiums for team players with an annual deductible of $2,500. Peanuts for a $10 an hour worker. Of course, a CEO earning “up to or over” a million dollars annually obviously can’t relate to the burden of... (read more)
