The Wall Street Journal is a foundation - people assume you've read it every day, so start there. The Economist and the Financial Times provide not only excellent analysis, but a flavor of the kind of thinking that goes on outside the U.S. Of the major business magazines, BusinessWeek is, to me, the most valuable - Fast Company and Fortune are too breathless and I rarely find strong insights there. Don't forget about trade magazines and Web sites for particular industries you're interested in, too.
