Why/what do you read in the business newspaper? WSJ etc

I'm doing research on what the the buy side, hedge funds, get from reading their business newspapers, WSJournal, etc. I'm hoping some monkey's can help me out.

1. Why do you(your firm) read/subscribe to the newspaper? Obviously it's important to keep up in the news for investing purposes but more specifically, what are you looking for? What deals just occurred, who went public, what company's about to go bankrupt.

2. What is the sections you visit most in the newspaper? ex: WSJ Pro, the exits section of the PE category?

3. How reliant and enjoyable do you find your interactions with the drop menus for searching news by industries is? ex: Your fund is mainly focused on tech sector and therefore you only care to see the tech sector, or maybe you have some of free time and the buy side life is good so you look at other sectors?

I greatly appreciate all genuine participation, thanks.
