Discovered this website yesterday - www.businessweek.com, contains good stuff relevant to GD/PI prep.
Good thing is that you dont have to pay any subscription for it's contents. This is unlike http://www.economist.com/ which requires that you pay for access to its contents.
While on the topic, why is it that I have no issues with paying for the print edition of a magazine, but complain when asked to pay for access to the web edition? Is it because I have got used to expecting that anything related to the net gotta be free e.g., email. Then how long is it going to be free?
It's only a matter of time before www.businessweek.com concludes that it's web edition might be actually hurting the sales of it's print edition. The next logical step would be to start charging for the web edition too. The only way this is not going to happen is if the revenues from online ads are high enough to justify offering the content free. In such a case, again it would be a trade off between online ad revenue and revenue from member subscription(MS). "Trade off" because it is difficult to imagine online advertising and MS coexisting . The guys advertising are dependent on the number of eyeballs which is likely to fall once you start insisting that the eyeball owners pay up before browsing.
Funny thing is that the above logic is not applicable to the print media.
