About the FT
"One of the big secrets of government is that even after you have gotten all the clearances and codes for classified information, the stuff is often not as good as what one read in the Financial Times the week before."
Strobe Talbott, former Deputy Secretary of State World Policy Journal, Winter 2003/2004
To succeed in today's global economy, an understanding of your region in isolation is no longer enough. Business and economic news does not stop at national borders.
At the Financial Times we take a global rather than a regional approach to our coverage, putting national news into an international context by pulling together the unique resource of our international network of editors and correspondents. We seek to show how events in one corner of the world are likely to impact on institutions and economies in your region.
The Financial Times goes far beyond other business newspapers and news weeklies to keep you informed of changing events and conditions around the world, concisely, yet comprehensively. No other newspaper offers more in-depth coverage of international news, objectively reported and analysed from an independent, global perspective. And, thanks to our extensive network of correspondents reporting from all the political and commercial nerve centres of Europe, we are widely regarded to be the authority on the European Union, the Euro, and European corporate news. In a world drowning in business information of varied quality, we add value for our readers in three distinct ways.
The editing process. Our job is to provide you with your daily briefing on the state of the world, to select the news that matters to our readers, to validate and prioritise it, and to place it into some kind of context. We don't aim to compete by publishing everything that happens in the business and economic world, or by being a split second ahead of our competitors. We do aim to identify the news that our readers need to know about, to put it into context for you, and, with expert analysis help you fully appreciate its implications.
The quality of our reporting, which is distinctive. We place a very high premium on the accuracy and authority of what we write. Our teams of specialist correspondents are looking for exclusive information in their different areas, and the job of our commentators is to provide insights and robust analysis of the issues that matter to our readers. The FT provides you with a source of information you can trust.
The FT's world-renowned journalists train an unbiased eye on news and issues from around the globe. The FT provides an unfiltered view of what the rest of the world is thinking and saying about your region - views often not covered in the local media. Our interests spread well beyond financial and economic news, and deep into national and international policymaking. The politics of US welfare reform, or the demographic pressures on Japan: these are two examples of the kind of broad issues, which are well within the remit of the Financial Times.
Our comment pages are not confined to one ideological perspective. We publish arguments from all perspectives, provided they are robust and put forward with integrity. We cover a broad range of public policy issues, and provide daily coverage of the international arts scene.
