The big question: Is The Financial Times as good or better than the Wall
Street Journal? The truth is both papers are at the top of the financial
and business news foodchain. In other words, in a competition for the
world's greatest business and finance daily, The Journal and The FT would
tie for first place.
If you live in Washington D.C., or even if you've just visited, you may
have had the opportunity to visit the Marriner S. Eccles Federal Reserve
Board Building located on Constitution Avenue between 20th and 21st streets.
This is where Fed boss Dr. Ben Bernanke is chauffeured to work every day.
If you peer into Dr. Ben's limousine as he arrives at work, you will sometime
see him reading a newspaper. Dr. Ben's business and finance daily of choice
if often the Financial Times.

The Financial Times was founded in the United Kingdom by James Sheridan
back in 1888. The daily is printed at twenty-three sites and has a worldwide
print circulation of more than 412,000. As of October 2009, worldwide
readership of both online and print editions of the FT was 1,300,0000.
As of March 2009, the FT.com website had 1,200,000 registered users.
Like the Wall Street Journal, FT covers a lot more than global business
and finance. Sections include World, Business Education, Management, Arts
& Leisure, Personal Finance, Companies, Wealth, Special Reports and
Managed Funds.
In 2005, the same year that the FT.com website celebrated its 10-year
anniversary, Lionel Barber was appointed Editor. Chief Executive Officer
of The FT and FT.com is currently John Ridding, who was appointed to the
post in 2006. In 2008, The Financial Times won three newspaper of the
year awards, the same year that the company introduced a Middle East edition.
The Financial Times has a very distinctive look -- black type on pink
(light salmon) paper -- making it very easy to spot on the newsstand.
Most of the content on the FT.com website is also displayed on a background
tinted with a unique shade of pink (HTML color code #FFF1E0.) No one is
quite sure if the FT decided in 1893 to print on pink-hued paper to save
money (turning newspaper pulp white requires chemical bleaching) or to
give the paper a distinguishing characteristic. The likely truth is that
a little bit of both led to the decision to use this standout attribute
for the paper.
