Wall Street Journal (WSJ)

• Do you have an assignment where you are asked to find an article specifically from the Wall Street Journal?
• Did you come across a reference to a WSJ article in another article or book?
• Are you looking for an authoritative source of business and financial news? 
   

This guide will show you how to find those articles in FIT Library databases. 
Note that we do not subscribe directly to WSJ.com so you will not find all the features of that site using our databases. 

FIT Library subscribes to Wall Street Journal content through ProQuest, a company that provides similar access to other newspapers. It's not the same as searching the WSJ.com website, but it is updated daily and has virtually all articles from the print newspaper Eastern Edition and some from WSJ Online; it does not contain most images (images, charts. illustrations) unfortunately.

TIPS: 

• Advanced search lets you use fields like company name or NAICS code to look for articles that focus on a specific business or industry rather than just mentioning it.
• Did you know?  We also subscribe to the New York Times Historical and WWD Archive through ProQuest, so you can easily search all three papers at the same time. You can even add in other databases from ProQuest such as Vogue and Harper's Bazaar, Women's Magazine Archive, and more. 

Remember that if you do not have a subscription to WSJ.com, these sections are browseable but you cannot get free access to the articles through these links

• WSJ News Archive 
  • Defaults to today's date but can be changed to any date back to 1997.
  • Articles are sorted in reverse chronological order, that is the articles posted online later in the day are listed first and the earliest ones show up last
• Wall Street Journal Print Edition: Lists all he articles that were published in the print version of the paper on a specific day
  In order to access this feature, you need a link to a specific date. For example, the link here is for August 6, 2020. You can click through the link and change the date once you get to the page, or you can edit the URL and replace the date  with the one you are looking for in the format  YYYYMMDD.
• WSJ Noted: A WSJ.com section launched in June 2020 aimed at an audience younger than its typical readers. Many lifestyle, finance, culture, and politics articles are relevant to college students. "Each monthly issue will have a “cover story that is free to anyone.” A number of Noted stories will also pull out highlights and different parts of other Journal stories, and those stories will also be free."
• Newsletters & Alerts: sign-up for a daily email of headlines, or topic specific newsletters or alerts list 

If you want to look for the version of an article as it appeared in the print newspaper or on WSJ.com complete with photos, illustrations, charts  et al., note that 

• WSJ.com does not provide a specific number of articles free to any user; it seems to be a variable number so you can try to search the site to see if you can get access.  Read more about that concept here
• Subscribers may be able to post or forward free links to a certain number of articles. If your professor wants you to read a specific article, you can ask if they have their own subscription and can share a link with the class.
• It's possible that a search of Google or social media might  find you a specific free access link that someone was able to share.
