Financial Times

The Financial times publishes a unique blend of business, political and cultural news that has made it the dominant English-language business newspaper of Europe. Its independence and integrity are unchallenged; the editors are meticulous about separating facts from commentary. As a result, the paper has become one of the most respected business journals in the world. Another reason for the FT's fine reputation is the sheer breadth and volume of its coverage. According to Institutional Investor magazine, ""the FT undoubtedly churns out more international economic and business news than any other newspaper."" It sees itself as a newspaper of record for corporate coverage, especially for UK-based companies. It reports regularly on the earnings, acquisitions, mergers, financing, stock trading and executive appointments of 2,500 companies around the globe -- including many U.S. firms. In the U.S., the Financial Times has a strong reputation as a banking newspaper with coverage of international lending and the Euro-currency markets centered in London. The paper's staff includes many highly regarded economic, political, legal and corporate analysts.
