Executive
Summary
In my Corporate Finance class our professor
stressed the need to stay up-to-date on current events. I have heard counsel
from other professors many times that we should read the Wall Street Journal or
consistently read business and world news. As a poor college student, I cannot
afford to pay for a subscription to the Wall Street Journal, nor do I have the
time to sift through pages of articles about world topics. Sometimes I just
forget to read the news because I am so busy with other course work.
The “Current Events!” Excel workbook is the
perfect solution to this problem. The program will send you an email every day
containing the main headlines from the Wall Street Journal and the Economist. The
program routes through the BYU library website to access the free version of
the Wall Street Journal and the Economist. It copies the article headlines and
links then it sends them in an email to the email address of your choosing. If
you see an article that interests you then you can click the attached link to
read the entire article for yourself. The program is automated to run at 5:00pm
every day, so I will never miss a day of current events.
The “Current Events!” workbook solves the problem
of cost, because it gets news headlines from BYU channels completely free of
charge. It saves me time, because I do not have to go out and look for the
news, the news comes right to me. Finally, on the days where I forget about
current events, I will receive a nice little email at 5:00pm to remind me of
what is going on in the world.
I’ll never miss out on a day of current events
again!
Note: the passwords for the NetID and email address have been removed from this workbook. In order to run the sub procedures you will need to type in your own BYU netID, email address, and passwords.
