On any list of pure English-language business reportage, Barron’s would figure in the top ten. This newspaper-style weekly compiles more numbers than just about any other publication.
Though ‘fluff’ is not a word commonly associated with the Wall Street Journal, think of Barron’s as ‘WSJ without the fluff’. That’s how focused it is.
Electronic availability of business numbers has pushed Barron’s off the ‘must read’ list, though it has its guild of old faithful readers who consider nothing else its equal. Published by Dow Jones, it is as focused on Wall Street as any publication could be.
Business people appreciate its ‘Review & Preview’ section, which at a glance brings a reader up to speed on last week’s business news leaders and next week’s announcement and world holidays affecting business.
WSJ and the Economist will give you more extensive analysis.
Without slighting its columns and feature articles, Barron’s is for the pure numbers guys and gals among us. They’re all in here. Honest.
