Online News Sources

Here are a few of our favorite online news sources: 

The Wall Street Journal:  Daily newspaper (except weekends) published for a national audience.  Very widely read in the business, academic and governmental communities.  See me for information on discount hardcopy subscriptions;  old issues are free for the taking in the lobby outside Dr. Bell's office.

The Economist:  Weekly newsmagazine published in the United Kingdom for an international audience.  Focus is on international politics (with a special section each week on U.S. politics), finance and economics, science and technology, books and arts.  Extremely well written in an irreverent style all its own.  See me for information on discount hardcopy subscriptions;  old issues are free for the taking in the lobby outside Dr. Bell's office.

The Economist's Archive of "Economics Focus" Articles  Read these articles, ask me questions about anything you don't understand, and you will learn more about economics than ten professors could ever teach you.

The New York Times:  Daily newspaper published in New York City.  Though its focus is on the news in general, not economics, its articles on subjects to economics majors are generally outstanding.  Discount hardcopy subscriptions are available through the UNCA bookstore.

High Country News:  Bi-weekly newspaper published in Paonia, CO whose focus is on resource issues in the western U.S.  A great source of well written articles of interest to students interested in environmental and resource economics.  Old issues are free for the taking in the lobby outside Dr. Bell's office.
