WALL STREET JOURNAL

For this project, you are required to read and analyze 5 recent articles from the Wall Street Journal,

each covering a different topic addressed in the course. You will then write a 1-page review of each

article.

Access the Wall Street Journal either through the Liberty University Online Library or through a personal

subscription. Once you have access, choose 5 articles (300 words minimum) that cover any 5 of the

following topics:
-Economic growth   -Federal government taxation   -Banking
-Unemployment   -National debt   -Monetary policy
-Inflation   -Fiscal policy   -Gross Domestic Product
-Federal budget   -Social Security   -Exchange rates
-Federal government spending   -Interest rates   -Foreign economic issues
-Federal Reserve   -Keynesian Economics

No more than 1 article can be on a specific topic. Gather your articles over a few weeks’ time, ensuring

that they are both interesting and appropriate. Make sure to select articles (300 words or more) that

address all of the needed information below. Short articles will often not provide you with enough

detail to write about, and likewise, purely statistical releases of data are not wise selections. Articles

must be no older than 2008. For each of your 5 articles, do the following on 1 page (see example format):

1. On the top of the page, provide the article title, the author’s name, date of publication, and

the article’s section and page number if you use the print copy or the web address if you access the

Wall Street Journal electronically.
2. On the next line down, type the topic of your articles (from the list above) in all caps and bold
