Access Campus Subscription to web and app versions of the Wall Street Journal (WSJ)
Wall Street Journal Digital Edition (4-year rolling archive)
On your first access, you will be asked to register for an account using your Hopkins email address. Follow the steps.
If you ALREADY have an account, it will say that you already have an account. Please follow the sign-in link under "email field" of the registration page. Or, you can access your WSJ account directly on wsj.com.
Because WSJ offers a lot of personalized access, there are a few other restrictions:
- During registration, you will be asked to identify yourself as faculty, staff, or student. If you're a student, your graduation year can't be more than 5 years ago; if you have been here longer than 5 years, please call WSJ customer service and ask them to adjust the graduation date.
- Faculty and staff accounts are set up for one year. When the year is up, WSJ will send out an automatic email to refresh the account via Hopkins credential.
- Any patron with an existing account (e.g., Carey Business School) will be moved to the new University-wide access model, and they don't have to do do anything.
- Anyone with a personal account can cancel it, and request WSJ customer service to re-associate their JHU email (if they used it for the personal account) to new access via the Library.
- You will need to reactivate your JHU affiliation annually.

If you go directly to the website, you might access a few articles for free, but eventually you will hit a paywall and need to purchase an individual subscription. Instead, we purchase the same content on a different platform. You can see a list of titles and news collections here on our Newspapers page.
