Hello, I am an upcoming sophomore looking to break into investment banking. I have consistently heard about how important reading the WSJ is daily and gaining a personal perspective on the market as whole is. I have yet to get into this habit and feel like it will bite me in the future. Should I start dialing down now on reading daily, and if so, which sections in WSJ should I read? (Business, Markets, U.S, etc.?)

You don't have to read WSJ specifically, but you need to be ingesting some sort of financial news otherwise you're not gonna have a clue what's going on. Whether it be Bloomberg, the FT, WSJ, CNBC, Twitter, Podcasts etc. - find a style you like and maintain your awareness. Read whatever you're interested in and frontpage headline news.
I prefer the Financial Times. Whatever it is, keep up with the news.
WSJ has become more like mainstream news in recent years. Unfortunate. Read the FT and Bloomberg.
The financial times that’s $30/month?
