WSJ v FT v Barrons

I'm looking at my subscriptions and want to get an insight into what everyone is reading? Do you read any of the papers mentioned in the topics, and do you think the paper copy is worth it?

Looking to get news information but also something geared more towards stock information.

I read WSJ and FT and few other publications, have never touched a paper copy in my life. I just don’t see why you would get a paper copy, unless you’re a boomer.

 

I read FT only. I love their investigative journalism (eg work on Wirecard or stuff like Due Dilligence) and the fact that people can comment on articles. I often learn more from the comment section. And people arent afraid to call out the author if the piece reads like an advert or isnt written good enough. Friendly layout for market stats too.

Havent tried out Barrons but had $1 2 month trial with WSJ which I cancelled a few days ago. Their font also weirds me out

made new unrelated account - dont reply or message as i never use it. 
 

ft, wsj is ok for the robinhood traders but rarely goes beyond covering industry headlines and MD bonus package / personnel change and all the drama / sheningans like that. Only retards read Barron's - what do they cover other than the 5 most attractive stocks I should buy now?
