I subscribe to the Wall Street Journal as well as our local fishwrap.
I keep telling myself that I should just go with the online versions. Bottom line is that I wouldn't read them online. But if I have the paper on the kitchen counter while I eat breakfast and lunch (I work from home), I will read it -- and I do.
The WSJ has an interesting print ad campaign with prominent CEOs/entrepreneurs. They're shown reading the WSJ and the caption is something like, "He doesn't have time. But s/he makes time to read The Wall Street Journal." It's true. You can and should find the time to stay informed, especially as an investor.
Our local fishwrap keeps getting smaller and more expensive. I just-reupped for $180/year for home delivery, reminding myself that I first learned of two people I read about in that paper. I contacted them (one in 1998, one in 2010) and both became key business partners for me. Yes, the $180 is a lot, but when compared to what those two relationships alone have produced, it's pennies. Plus, I used to work as a newspaper scribe and I believe in supporting papers. Without them, business and government go unchecked, if they don't already.
As for the WSJ, it's pricey, but I manage to cash in frequent flyer miles from airlines I rarely use for a one-year subscription. I then get an expensive renewal, cancel, wait six weeks, and cash in more miles. It's not even many miles -- maybe 1,500 or so, which usually gets you only 12 issues of Money or Outside magazines.
