Research Guides: MSCM 5P32: Capital Market Research in Accounting: Follow the Financial News

Follow the Financial News

You can follow the financial news by regularly scanning sources such as:

The National Post and the Financial Post
The Globe and Mail and the Report of Business
The Wall Street Journal
The Financial Times
The Economist

Most of these financial news sources are behind a paywall, so you may only see a preview, rather than the full text of a story, if you are not a subscriber.

The good news is that you can use the Library's A-Z List of Journals (which also includes newspapers) to identify the source for free full-text access via one of our many Library Databases such as Factiva, Canadian Newsstand, or Academic One File.
The bad news is that some of these sources have delays (embargoes) ranging from a few days to one month.

Google News Search is another option for finding current news headlines, but you may not be able to read the full text articles.
