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.

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.

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.

+  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.

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.

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.
