Financial Times maintains loyalty among global Business readers
The Financial Times is a British newspaper that is issued in London England as well as in twenty more sites around the world. The most important competitor of the Financial Times newspaper is the US-based Wall Street Journal newspaper.
The paper started small, serving mainly City traders, also having a local rival, Financial News. As years went by the paper evolved, grew and increased its depth and width of coverage. The paper developed a network of correspondents around the world that reflected in their stories the move towards a global economy from the early days. The paper attributes very much of the quality and coverage on this network of correspondents that still holds very well until the present days.
The newspaper is usually divided into two parts: the first part covers national and international news, and the second part covers company and market news.
Financial Times offers content that contributes significantly their main newspaper; the most important is:
- The Financial Times magazine; it is distributed in the weekend edition and parts of the magazine are included in the US printed edition of the newspaper
- How to spend it; posh advice on how rich people can spend their wealth
- Opinions; supports global markets and the world economy in general. Through Opinions, the paper supported Margaret Thatcher, Gordon Brown and Barrack Obama
- The Lex column; covers business and financial news on a daily basis.
In 1995, Financial Times made it online, starting a Website. The site started with providing a high summary of worldwide news; the paper added stock prices in 1996. The second version of the site was launched in 1997. Gradually the site grew in content and services. Currently it is one of the few subscription-based newspaper sites (Wall Street Journal also supports this business model). It is also possible to purchase online a printed Financial Times subscription. The users who visit FT.com are 3 million every month from the US alone. They are mostly single men with no kids, some college education and an average income of $30,000 – $50,000.

Who’s fed up with the celebrity distractions?
I get up, go online, go to yahoo and I see celebrity news with main news headlines. I turn on TV and every channel I turn to, people cannot STOP talking about what Paris Hilton’s poodle ate that day! Britney Spears has become the great messiah of our time or as important as goddess Aphrodite!! I leave my house and I STILL can’t escape people talking about them!What gives?
This is so distracting in every turn, you would think that some powers out there want to inflict this distraction on the population to diver attention away from things that we shouldn’t know.
It has happened for a long time, this should be dubbed ‘celebritism’ the worship of celebrities. Can not people think for themselves, or is that too much to ask?
Another thing I must know, this is like the royalty worship in Europe, they’re both similar in that. Is all this celebrity business global? As in the paparazzi being a viable part of the economy? Some with SANITY please explain this to me.
Finally someone who understands that celebrities are no different than us. They are just people! And I’m sick of everyone whorshiping EVERYTHING they do. In magazines they talk about celebrities doing the most common things. Like “Hayden P went to an airport…..Danny Devito put money in the parking meter…” Who gives a shit! Its all so stupid that I’m emberrassed to read it. Because I feel foolish. And they intrurpt programs on tv. I wouldnt be surprised if they were showing breaking news of a terrosit attack and they interupted it to tell us that Paris Hilton was going to jail.! ITs MaDnEsS!!!!
