The Financial Times (FT) is a respected British newspaper reporting on international business. It was founded in 1888 by James Sheridan to provide news to financiers. In 1957, it was bought by the publishing company Pearson. It is published every morning and is the only paper to provide full daily reports on the London Stock Exchange and world markets. It has a daily circulation of around half a million. The paper is as famous for its salmon-pink coloured paper as it is for its quality information. It’s also famous for the FTSE 100 index which it created with the London Stock Exchange to give an indication of the value of London stocks and shares. The biggest rival for the FT is ‘The Wall Street Journal’. The FT’s website FT.com has over 2 million registered users and more than 125,000 digital subscribers.
