I have 2 financial media that have inexpensive student subscriptions that I recommend for financial news: Wall Street Journal & Barrons
If you want absolutely minimal coverage of financial news and stocks, so that you have only 2 subscriptions, I recommend these two because between them you have news-centric coverage from WSJ and stock picking/stock analyst coverage from Barrons. WSJ is self-evident, so I won't discuss it here. Barrons, as some people may know, features regular in-depth interviews with analysts and stock pickers about what they are doing, what their takes are, and what they project. They also have multiple-analyst coverage of specific topics.
With student pricing, the cost of the two subscriptions is just a few dollars a week or month.
There are other financial media outlets with student pricing, like Bloomberg, but they will hike your price and become difficult/opaque to deal with, with unresponsive customer service. For dealing with Bloomberg, it's actually easier to look over their front page and then just Google (or use ChatGPT AI Bing Search) for news about any headline that looks interesting. Also, there are other student subscriptions available to less mainstream news and financial newsletter outlets that I hope people will comment on.
Unfortunately, other very good sites for stock pickers, like Zacks, CNBC Pro, YCharts and Finviz, do not have student pricing, as far as I know. If I'm wrong about that, please let me know!
