As a WSJ journal addict who is traveling a great deal, I found it better to eliminate my paper subscription and go electronic. At first, I had both the print and online versions, but I found the paper version wasteful as it still contains stock quotes and large print ads on stock offerings. While I have no way of knowing if other reviewers have a different online WSJ with pop-up advertisements, which I doubt, there are none on mine. In fact, the online WSJ is vastly more streamlined than Forbes, Fortune, CNN, etc. The clutter-free layout allows for easy navigation. The content of the WSJ is unparalleled. What makes the online version so powerful for business research, lead generation and job hunting is the search capability. My major complaint is that free search only goes back for thirty days. For those who want to pay [$] per article, you can use the advanced search page and access Factiva/Dow Jones, which covers hundreds of publication both large and small. Dow Jones argues that they have to compensate the content owners. Yet, they don't even offer WSJ articles that are already owned. If you are looking for business ideas or contacts, the WSJ is an excellent publication. The online WSJ makes gathering this information less consuming than the print version.

I subscribed to the print edition 3 years ago, since then
had had no time to read the paper daily and saw the paper
piling up and go to waste. I regretted my subscription because
of this.But, the WSJ is just essential reading for me, so for the
past year I would drop by the library on the weekends and
peruse the sections that I wanted to, and save the wastage
of paper and money. Getting to the library though, was a bit
dodgy due to my schedule,their hours of operation etc. Now, that the WSJ is available online I rely on this edition,
not only for WSJ, but The Economist, Scientific American, National Geographic etc. I highly recommend the WSJ online subscription.
I find I do not need to spend my time at the library on
this reading but other browsing, and I can read this from
a computer anywhere. The site/publication is not graphics
heavy and remains as always an extremely well written, well thought out newspaper edition. All the benefits of the newspaper without the paper. :) If you have the ability to afford slightly less than a
dollar a week on an electronic subscription I recommend
you give this a try, [ they have an online trial subscription] and then sign up for the year's subscription... Enjoy! cheers,
Mary
