Best finance journals to read.

I am a rising sophomore finance student and I have been reading the Wall Street Journal each morning for about a year now. I like waking up and reading about what is happening in the markets. However, I want to expand my morning reading into finance research journals that go more in-depth about topics. Therefore, can someone please give me suggestions for a few finance research journals to read?

Some of my favorites (all are free / don't need a subscription):

Bloomberg Money Talks - Absolutely legendary column by former banker Matt Levine that goes in-depth on recent events/trends

WSJ Markets - Beginning of the day column that focuses on more important markets news for that day 

WSJ Heard on the Street - End of the day reflection on markets

Pitchbook News - Daily news related to deals, fundraising, M&A, and market research on PE/VC/M&A

Morning Brew - Not in-depth, but super fun way to keep up with what's going on in the markets

Axios - They have several themed newsletters with different topics and timelines (daily vs. weekly)
