The Wall Street Journal

The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) is a daily broadsheet newspaper that is among the most influential newspapers in the world. It is read by 2 million people worldwide, and has approximately 950,000 paid online subscriptions, though its major news stories are available for free online to the general public. The average reader works in top level management, earns $191,000 per year, is 55 years old, and has a net worth of 2.1 million dollars. The WSJ's content focuses on world business news with an American viewpoint. The main subjects reported in the Wall Street Journal include political and economic news, technology, marketing, investing, and in the weekend edition real estate, sports, travel, and lifestyles.

The Wall Street Journal is said by some to have a conservative leaning editorial department and a liberal leaning news department. In the year 1902, the paper was purchased by Clarence Barron as a source for "fearless, independent financial reporting." Like the British weekly The Economist, the WSJ emphasizes free markets. While the focus of the WSJ is American, it also publishes European, Indian, and Asian editions.

 
The Wall Street Journal is distributed throughout the world in its various editions. Foreign language editions of the WSJ are published in Chinese, Portuguese, and Spanish, and all editions are published by News Corporation, headquartered in New York City.
