Barron's is an American weekly newspaper covering U.S. financial information, market developments, and relevant statistics. Each issue provides a wrap-up of the previous week's market activity, news reports, and an informative outlook on the week to come.
Barron's has four sections:
The paper has been published by Dow Jones & Company since 1921. The magazine is named after Clarence W. Barron, one of the most influential figures in the history of Dow Jones, and considered the founder of modern financial journalism. Dow Jones also publishes The Wall Street Journal.
Color was introduced in May 1990, and full color in January 1996.
Barron's introduced a two-section version of the paper 7 March 1994, a three-section version January 1999, and the current four-section version 14 January 2002.
The magazine is known for its sometimes-harsh assessment of corporate prospects, and is noted for investigative reporting on stock fraud and overvalued companies.
The magazine's primary draws have long been its columns by veteran financial journalist Alan Abelson, who was editor of Barron's in the 1980s and early 1990s, and the Economics Beat column by Economics editor Gene Epstein.
