“The joy of the FT is that you can trust its journalism. It’s got great standards, and meets them. Those are the kind of competitors we all value and respect…The FT is certainly on the list of other papers I admire.””

Arthur Sulzberger, CEO of the New York Times

“The FT is my favorite newspaper in the world these days. The Weekend edition is, in my humble opinion, the most interesting weekend journal with wonderful writers and always an excellent interview (FT Lunch) with all kinds of people.”

David Patrick Columbia, New York Social Diary

“It was big news in the digital world when the UK-based newspaper ditched its mobile apps in favor of an HTML5 experience that has earned acclaim from both sides of the pond.”

Caroline McCarthy, Think Quarterly

“The Financial Times is probably the single best model of print-to-digital transformation success…[Rob Grimshaw's move to the US] is logical – go where your customers are, and to the heart of digital innovation. [Everyone] will tell you how America-centric, and West Coast-centric, the digital business is.”

Ken Doctor, Nieman Lab

“The FT really is the best place to start to gain an overview of the key issues affecting my work.”

Michael Coates, Senior Legal Counsel, Shell International B.V

“I get up and read the Financial Times just to see what new thing happened that I get to worry about.”

Tom Falk, CEO of Kimberly Clark

“The Financial Times has addressed the problem of poverty in an adult, coherent way…which makes it the ‘must-read’.”

Sir Bob Geldof

“I read the Financial Times before other people. Now everybody carries around a Financial Times.”

Barack Obama

“Jennifer Hughes deserves some kind of medal for her magnificent article on Lehman Europe’s insolvency in this weekend’s FT.”

Felix Salmon, Conde Nast Portfolio

“There is an audience of hundreds of thousands of affluent, sophisticated, globalization-and-finance-obsessed readers in the U.S. who want blow-by-blow reporting of the news they deem important, and don’t need everything explained to them.”

Justin Fox, business and economics columnist, Time magazine

“The leading source for daily international financial news.”

Warren Buffet

“The (financial) collapse’s true luminary is Gillian Tett, assistant editor at the Financial Times and one of the few people who predicted the current state of economic catastrophe, some two years ago.”

The Observer

“I remember I picked up the FT – as you do – and it had the European Central Bank starting to put money into the economy. I phoned the office to ask why they were doing quite so much.”

Alistair Darling, Chancellor of the Exchequer UK/Great Britain

“There are precious few quality news sources nowadays and the FT is certainly one of them.”
