For text completion and sentence equivalence questions, is it important to read newspapers and journals, such as Economist, Wall Street , etc.

Why yes, good question! On the Revised GRE, the vocab questions have become a lot more like Reading Comp, so you can prepare for both at the same time. Here are some sources we recommend:

Humanities:
Smithsonian: http://www.smithsonianmag.com/
Harvard Alumni Magazine: http://harvardmagazine.com/

Science:
Scientific American: http://www.scientificamerican.com/sciammag/
MIT Technology Review: http://www.technologyreview.com/

Business:
The Economist: http://www.economist.com/


Also, here is an article from our GMAT blog about how to improve Reading Comp (the advice is exactly the same for GRE!)
