The Edge Malaysia v. Business Times v. Star Newspaper

Frequently, I quote various publications for content fodder.

I use the Business Times for the majority of the posts v. The Edge Malaysia and The Star for good reason. The Business Times, in my opinion is the easiest to read Malaysian business publication. The Star news paper is next, but it gives you the runabout when going to the business section while the Edge has content but personally i don't think much of the way they present their information.

For instance, in the Business Times, I click on "Today's newspaper"and BOOM, I get the latest stories and yet do not get bogged down with too much content like the Edge. It's easy to scan their site. I feel their articles are generally more relevant and of greater substance than the Edge Malaysia site which just spits out article after article in the politics and business section. The headlines are not informative and sound quite useless.

The Star Newspaper, to be fair isn't a business publication, as they cater to many audiences. The business site is just an extension of the main newspaper. I would rate theirs better than the Edge Malaysia and not as good as the Business Times.

On the other hand, the papers of the Edge financial Daily and the Edge is quite good. Unfortunately the website leaves much to be desired.
