It's not free (No one buys it here), and I'm not going out of my way to buy it myself or have a subscription.
At a previous job, someone subscribed to it and left it in the reading room for others to enjoy.

I was gifted with an umpteen years' subscription to the Wall Street Journal. I have that on a more-or-less permanent hold, and chip in for a membership for the WSJ online. Beats the sameness of AP and Reuters stories on the free sites.

Pretty much the same as DTNF. I like it well enough to read it if it is around. I'm not fond of it enough to invest the time or money to subscribe to it for myself. At the prior company, there were often copies around to look at. Here, the top guys get it, but they don't share.

I subscribe to the online version
I read the headlines and what interests me and occasionally the editorials when I want to get a laugh at the crazy rightocrats.

I used to pick it up for free in the dorms...the school had some sort of deal with them, USA today, and the local inquirer. The business school students used to get a free subscription of the WSJ, then they changed it to university wide. I guess it was just easier that way.
