Since the News Corp acquisition, they have actually reduced their business coverage and analysis and started providing more world news, which I can get on the web for free. I have debated switching to Investors Business Daily, but it is a hard switch since I have been reading the Journal since 1982. So "high end financial news" has actually been declining in the WSJ print edition.

I reluctantly dropped my subscription earlier this month, a year into the Murdoch era. The Journal's great strength for me was to put things in context, and provide offbeat business-oriented stories.
I was fewer and fewer of these over the past year, and a lot more news of the minute, which can be found anywhere.
I'm mourning the loss of the great paper that I once read and am looking for a replacement.
