WSJ: How important to read?

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.?)
