CLARIFICATION: At 4:16, we use the term "Southern Ireland". This is a direct quote from a press release published by News UK, which owns Newsprinters, the company responsible for distributing newspapers in the UK). The article can be found here: www.news.co.uk/latest-news/off-the-press-on-the-road-and-through-the-door/, and the relevant quote reads: "By 06.30 every morning it has delivered 4 million newspapers to 55,000 retail outlets in the UK and Southern Ireland and directly to more than 16,000 homes in London." We're not sure if they're referring to the Republic of Ireland or some southern part of Ireland like Munster, but if they are referring to the Republic of Ireland, we'd just like to say that we obviously don't agree with that terminology. Nonetheless, we should've checked before using that term, so our bad and apologies there.

I think you missed the most important reason for success of FT in this modern format of news serving i.e over Internet . DEMOGRAPHICS in my opinion is the most important one as FT is seen as a newspaper doing serious journalism and reporting on business and economic issues in great detail ,It hence attracts readers who are willing to pay for such content as they see value in it and due to this demographics and business niche they are easily able to convert their readers to paid subscribers and charge high prices for the service . On the other hand this is not the case for those tabloids because they are targeted towards casual readers who are not there for rigorous business coverage but instead for sensationalized breaking news and spectacle of sports and entertainment media .
@krombopulos_michael8 ай бұрын
I think this is it. What the tabloids offer is more easily replaced by free online content because there isn't that much to it in the first place. There is no shortcut to the kind of stuff the FT does though. The kind of audience who was willing to pay for it in print is not going to be served as well with free online news, so they will still pay for it. As well as that, I'd expect a lot of it is buoyed by corporate subscribers. Any company working in the likes of banking or finance is going to have today's copy of the FT in their lobby because it confers sophistication and prestige.

I was introduced to the FT as it tried to expand to Germany with the German "FTD", FT Deutschland. At some point in time, the best columnists from the FTD switched to FT. These folks write incredibly insightful, critical stuff. And Martin Wolf in many ways is a s leading economic thinker, because he considers hard economics as well as political realities and brings this across in his columns fantastically. That's why he is a sought after moderator on many events, such as those organized by INET in the 2010s. The other main justification to subscribe to the FT is that it has a global perspective. No German Newspaper offers this. With the FT I think I am decently informed about events in Asia, US South America etc. and that is important to understand the world. I haven't yet found another newspaper that offers this. Maybe the NYT (which I just didn't enjoy).

I got the FT free during my masters, and now have it free through work and it is easily the best media source I have. Before that I had to use Reddit as a catch-all to cherry pick from multiple papers. No major political bias; just logic and pragmatic analysis. If a policy is poor, they’ll say so, whilst also explaining why it exists even though it’s poor. Just such a good example of how to criticise shitty governance (which we have had a lot of lately) without looking partisan, so you aren’t just auto-dismissed as being on the other side of the aisle. Honestly, rage-bait AI-assisted news is not enjoyable to read; and people are slowly getting sick of it even it does confirm their biases. If more papers were like the FT, we’d probably have avoided populism altogether.

I like it because it is the only truly international newspaper, all others show the world through the lens of their country of origin.

Seems very strange to me to class the Guardian, The Independent, and the Times as tabloids. If the Telegraph is a broadsheet then so are these.

Ironically I think FT is the best when it comes to investigative and political reporting and not finance. I work in the industry and their financial content is fine but pretty mediocre; its slow, doesn't really go into that much depth, and often is a second/third-hand take to things that others have reported. The investigative work and their interviews are absolutely top notch though

I really like this content but why do the studio shots look like they’re in a cloud or the lens is covered in vaseline?! All the clarity and colour is washed out compared to the B-roll or stock footage.

The fact that the Labour and Tories have the same opinion about a full economical & capitalist tabloid shows why they are not different ideologies, only different strategies.

Not sure why you classified The Guardian as a taboid. It is anything but that.

NYT has over 9.4 million subscribers. The Guardian has 1.1 subscribers. This is obviously a UK centric piece and not even that well done. And I much prefer The Economist to the FT as well because those papers have a soul and a moral compass. Seems like you all may have been paid to highlight them to your audience.

I would pay for the FT if I had a better reason than idle fascination about the cliffs the world is rushing towards: demographic, agricultural, environmental, economic cliffs all looming in the 2030s. It's definitely the news outlet that I most trust.

Technical comment: the audio compressor is working over time. It’s a little unpleasant and off putting to listen to.

I’d switch to FT in a heartbeat but their subscription is just too expensive, so it’s WSJ for now lol

I read British newspapers for American news. It's like going to a 3rd party marriage counselor and not my wife's sister for marriage problems because an outside look is almost always the most objective view.

That's a rare piece of great news because FT is one of the few remaining outlets producing quality content, devoid of ideology. The pieces published there are well researched and thoughtful, one can read them regardless of one's own opinions, they do not pander to either side whether it's left/right or any of the schools of thought in economics.

At that price it’s obviously for those small, elite constituencies in Western electorates who governments don’t feel they need to bombard with lies to try to influence elections. The expensive paywall is a nod and a wink to the Western Establishment(s), which says ‘here factual, accurate reporting is permissible’. The Guardian often infuriates me but I still value it very much. (I’m sure I’d enjoy the privilege of reading the FT too.)

I remember a saying a long time ago: "Which newspaper is the most reliable and trustworthy?" and the answer was "The Financial Times because business people can't afford to lie to themselves."
