For other locations of this guide, see the section titled "1.5 Where to Obtain This Guide" in part 2. 9.0 News Media 9.1 Academe This Week (Chronicle of Higher Education) This electronic version of the Chronicle of Higher Education offers a subset of the print version (the full print version is available on-line to paid subscribers). One of the most useful parts might be the job ads, which are available to non-subscribers. # http://chronicle.merit.edu/ 9.2 Times Higher Education Supplement Internet Service This is the electronic version of the British publication The Times Higher Education Supplement. It includes extensive summary information from the print version (this appears on the Friday before publication) as well as all job advertisements (they appear on the Tuesday before publication). Old advertisements are kept on hand as well. # http://www.thesis.co.uk/ 9.3 Barron's Online This on-line version of Barron's offers "every article, every special report, every column" of the print version. It is available to readers of the on-line version of the Wall Street Journal. As with the print version, much of the information is specific to companies and investing. For instance, they have extensive dossiers on some 20,000 companies. They also have an extensive search capability for past articles, and information as current as 20 minute delayed stock quotes. # http://www.barrons.com/ * 9.4 The Economist This site offers the entire table of contents of this magazine, as well as some complete articles for free. The subscription price to * the on-line version (with all articles) is $48 per year. With this * subscription there is free, unlimited retrieval of past articles. One interesting feature is that you can arrange to receive "Politics This Week" and "Business This Week" summaries via e-mail. There are also links to other members of the Economist Group. # http://www.economist.com/ 9.5 The Financial Times This site offers a version of The Financial Times; currently, while you have to register, there is no subscription fee. It appears that much of the newspaper is available on-line. Of particular interest is the "Economics" section under "Themes and Topics." They have both a large number of articles and economic data. # http://www.usa.ft.com/ 9.6 New York Times This site offers almost the entire New York Times (a few items in this on-line version are not offered in the print version, and vice-versa). Currently, for U.S. users, it is free; for non-U.S. subscribers, it costs $35/month. Their guide to sites on the Internet is particularly nice. The crossword puzzle requires software that they supply. # http://www.nytimes.com/ 9.7 Wall Street Journal Interactive Edition Besides the entire contents of the print Wall Street Journal, this site offers the Personal Journal (where you select items of interest, such as companies, topics, columns, and features for what is, in effect, your own issue), company briefing books (on more than 9,000 companies), stock, mutual fund, and bond quotes (it can even track a personal portfolio), a database of the past two week's articles, and even an expanded sports section. This is now a fee-based service; for subscribers of the paper edition, the cost is $29/year, and for those who don't subscribe to the print edition, it costs $49/year. For faculty and students who subscribe through their educational subscription program, there is no additional fee. The "Economy" section, besides current economic news, has two very useful sections: the "Economic Indicators Archive" (where economic stories of the past month or so are kept, many of which have links to their sources) and "Economic Calendars," which list upcoming releases of economic information. An additional service is their "Publications Library," which has some 65 million documents from 3,700 newspapers and magazines (including well-known business publications). This includes the Wall Street Journal from as many as 13 years ago, which goes back much further than their regular search engine. Currently, this is a fee-based service, but the first 10 articles retrieved are free. # http://interactive.wsj.com/ 9.8 Bloomberg Online This is a publically available version of the well-known financial news service (they claim to track some 3.2 million instruments world-wide). They offer information in the following categories: "Markets" (just about all equities, debt, and foreign exchange markets) "News," (generally business oriented) "Sports," "Analysis," (various on-line calculators and lists of Internet resources) "Products," (of Bloomberg products) and "Lifestyles" (topics such as weather, real estate, and horoscopes). The above are freely available; additional features, such as stock and portfolio tracking, are available on a subscription basis. # http://www.bloomberg.com/ + 9.9 dowjones.com + + This site is run by Dow Jones, the publisher of the "Wall Street + Journal." It includes headlines from the "Wall Street Journal," but + its most useful features for economists are likely to be the industry + section and the macro news section. The former covers 29 industries + in a number of ways. It includes both headlines and detailed news, + links companies, industry associations, research reports on the + industry, and rules and regulation. There are also stories on notable + people in the industry, and industry calendars. The "Economy" section + typically contains as many as 20 macro stories from the "Wall Street + Journal." There are also links to the related sites. Finally, they + offer a search engine for business publications. + + # http://dowjones.com 9.10 CNN At this site you can basically read CNN's Headline News. With its extensive sound and MPEG (motion picture) files, it illustrates the increasing convergence of different media. Perhaps its most interesting feature is its links to the Lexis-Nexis system of related articles in the popular press. # http://www.cnn.com/ 9.11 CNN-FN This section of CNN offers very topical news of financial markets. Under "Quicken.com on FN" you can check a number financial statistics, such prices on stocks, bonds, mutual funds (as well as background information on them with the "Lipper Mutual Fund Report"), and other financial instrument. # http://www.cnnfn.com/ + 9.12 Reuters Moneynet + + This site, run by Reuters, focuses on current events in financial + markets. This includes activity in the stock and currency markets. + There is also analysis and commentary on these markets, and one can + track a portfolio and get stock quotes. + + # http://www.moneynet.com/ 9.13 World News Connection (WNC) This service, an outgrowth of the Foreign Broadcast Information Service, is offered by the Department of Commerce's National Technical Information Service (NTIS). It has articles from "thousands of non-U.S. media sources" in English. They offer a very sophisticated search engine that allows one to easily search for information. This is a fee-based service, with several different levels of service. Subscription prices begin at $65.00 per month. # http://wnc.fedworld.gov/ 9.14 Slate This electronic magazine, or e-zine, supported by Microsoft and edited by Michael Kinsley, carries a significant economics component. This includes columns by Herbert Stein (Committee of Correspondence), Paul Krugman (The Dismal Scientist) and Steven E. Landsburg (Everyday Economics). In a discussion system called the Frey, Slate readers lively debate articles. In a bow to "Internet reality," this magazine is now freely available. # http://www.slate.com/ User Contributions:Comment about this article, ask questions, or add new information about this topic:Part0 - Part1 - Part2 - Part3 - Part4 - Part5 - Part6 - Part7 - Part8 - Part9 - Part10 - Part11 - Part12 - Part13 - Part14 - Part15 - Part16 - Part17 - Part18 - Part19 [ Usenet FAQs | Web FAQs | Documents | RFC Index ] Send corrections/additions to the FAQ Maintainer: Bill.Goffe@usm.edu (Bill Goffe)
