英国《金融时报》(Financial Times,简称FT)于1888年2月创刊于维多利亚时代的伦敦。报头下,印有报铭“Without Fear and Without Favour”,沿用至今。很多人对FT的第一印象是它的颜色,三文鱼粉色,像一张发黄的旧报纸。创刊时,FT是伦敦金融城一份小众专业报。历经100多年,已经进化成全球最权威的财经媒体之一。若你问,FT是份怎样的报纸?以下关键词大概可以概括:全球视角、言论多元、推崇自由市场和贸易等。全球最有影响力的政商精英,是FT的读者主体。2015年8月31日,FT中文网正式推出。凭借英国《金融时报》遍布全球的丰富报道资源,汇聚海内外有影响力的专栏作家与意见领袖,为商业决策者提供立体、详实的全球重大事件专题报道。
