<p>I'm interested primarily in those that focus on business/finance such as WSJ, Financial Times, Economist, Harvard Business Review, Barrons, etc. </p>
<p>Any recommendations?</p>
<p>I highly recommend Cond</p>
<p>Best daily: International Herald Tribune (world news) or Financial Times (financial news)
Best weekly: The Economist
Best monthly: Harvard Business Review</p>
<p>You generally only want to read the periodicals that naura mentioned, especially FT.</p>
<p>Wall Street Journal is the best newspaper in America overall (not just in terms of financial info). The Economist is also the best weekly.</p>
<p>The Economist also tends to be intensely biased sometimes so use your dicretion....</p>
<p>what sort of bias?</p>
<p>johnnyhoward, you're an idiot if you think WSJ is better and more circulated on Wall Street than FT.</p>
<p>The economist makes its slant known outright (centre right or libertarian) unlike the vast majority of American "news" publications which pretend to be fair and/or balanced.</p>
<p>Let me be straightforward.
According to the Economist everything about India just sucks. Our politicians suck, our beaurocrats suck, out businessmen suck, our economy sucks, our universities suck, our collaboration with the US sucks. Everything just sucks. </p>
<p>Iv rarely ever read anything in The Economist about our country thats positive
Would anyone believe that everything about our country sucks??</p>
<p>The Economist happens to think excessive amounts of bureaucracy sucks, yes. And India, among other countries, happens to have a heck of a lot of unnecessary bureaucracy (evidenced by the operation of its economy, universities, bureaucrats, businessmen, and other things). It's not like India is being singled out for this; have you read their articles about France or even the UK? The Economist supports personal and economic freedom, and hates bureacuratic red tape -- no matter what the country.</p>
<p>I totally agreed with the Economist on the beaurocracy thing. (should'nt have mentioned it in my rant)</p>
<p>Iv spent the past 2 years reading every issue of the Economist. They say some good things about countries and some bad. They are centre-right and so am I. And i do agree with some of their criticism.
But almost every single article iv read concerning India has an air of negativity and condescension
I have read alot of articles on UK and France. Yes, they berate them on certain issues and rightfully so. But there ALWAYS is some article or the other that balances it out. They do approve and support alot of issues in those countires.
Do I ever come accross article in support of an Indian issue - rarely if at all.</p>

<p>Well, the WSJ does outsell the FT in the U.S. at least 10 to 1. However, the FT claims they cater to a higher income group (average reader has 6 digit salary).</p>
<p>Personally, I like the more international perspective of the FT, but the WSJ does some very good and generally unbiased reporting if you stay away from the editorials/opinion section.</p>
<p>The WSJ editorials might as well be written by the Israeli Department of Propaganda (aka "Information for the Outside World" -- google it).</p>
<p>If you want to talk about salaries and quality of readership, 1 in 3 subscribers to the Economist is a millionaire, apparently.</p>
<p>aworldapart: 1) You're a douchebag 2) I said it was a better newspaper overall, I said nothing about it being more read on Wall Street. </p>
<p>I hate how people come on this website to start arguments over ridiculously trivial things like which daily newspaper is best. You need some friends.</p>
<p>johnnyhoward - Not everyone on this website is suck an a**hole like aworldapart. There honestly is something terribly wrong with him and he needs to get laid quick.</p>
<p>Papers: Wall Street Journal, Financial Times</p>
<p>Casual reads: Portfolio, Forbes, Fortune</p>
<p>More detailed stuff: Economist, New Yorker</p>
<p>Wealth Management: Kiplinger, Money</p>
<p>I subscribe to most.</p>
<p>Oh and venturebeat, of course</p>
