NYTimes "business" is rarely that. Its usually more the "personal interest" section about CEOs. Not very good at actually covering business news.

All three...? Plus the New Yorker, of course.

ft. i don't find it europe-based, really. although it is more international than either the NYT or the WSJ.

Oh. Duh. I didn't read the entire title. I hate being on deadline.

For business, Bloomberg, WSJ (every day) and FT. I don't pay for full FT access.

I would add the Economist, but not for your daily reading for obvious reasons. They have great pieces, but tend to be broader. Otherwise, I stick to the WSJ (their free podcast in the morning is great) and a whole mess of blogs (seekingalpha, calculatedrisk, etc.).

I read almost everything on bloomberg.com and the WSJ.com.

I rarely read the WSJ. Their website is not free.

The only thing I pay for is the NYT Crosswords online.

Newspaper: WSJ always and FT sometimes.
TV: Bloomberg tv for business, CNN for honest news, CNBC solely for entertainment.

Anyone believe the WSJ has declined in quality since Murdoch?

WSJ and FT. The NYT is only good for crossword pullzes and maybe restaurant reviews. Other than that, it is like a leftist college newspaper.

Riversider - yes.
FT is far better at covering business and finance than the WSJ. NYT is useless.

I definitely prefer the FT, but Floyd Norris, Gretchen Morganson and the DealBook section are good reads( I avoid Edmund Andrews like the plague)
