2. The Wall Street Journal
Another New York City based publication, the Wall Street Journal, has been in continuous print since it’s inception on July 8, 1889, by journalists Charles Dow and Charles Bergstresser. And statistician and journalist Edward Jones. Published six days a week, this newspaper is the largest in the United States by circulation, with over 2 million copies sold every week.
While the New York Times is seen as a rather left leaning paper, the Wall Street Journal can be seen as standing on the other side of the news aisle. It pioneered new types of feature writing in American journalism and is popular among Republicans. Although it has moved to more general news after being purchased in 2007 by Australian media mogul Rupert Murdoch, it has maintained its reputation for fact based reporting and editorials and columns that have a clear point to make.
