The handshake between John Ridding and Tsuneo Kita on 1 December 2015.

The financial times have reported that their digital revenue has overtaken their print revenues. As well as addressing the fake news fiasco by stating that they would take the news seriously.
  • Its total paid circulation, combining print and digital, stands at 843,000, up 75,000 (about 13%) year on year. 
In my opinion I think that it is great that digital revenues have over taken physical newspapers. This would mean that they might focus mainly on their digital copies. Especially considering that the company currently is also under a paywall. I think that the reason behind why the Financial Times would be successful in terms of their digital revenues would be because of their tone to fake news. This would be because of their tone towards fake news. And since they would have stories that are real, this would mean that people are willing to pay for their news as long as it is real and not false reporting.
