Financial News Without a Far Right Political Slant

| If you are looking for financial news with an international perspective and without a far right political slant, this business newspaper will impress. I gave up on The Wall Street Journal when the editors urged Americans we do away with the US Post Office. Wall Street news with a Fox channel slant is not news, it is propaganda. Instead, why not get facts and a range of opinions? Finally, the weekend edition of the Financial Times has an interesting travel section. |
Great paper, erratic delivery

| The FT is one of the world's great newspapers--valuable not just for its insights into global business and economics, but also politics, social issues and culture. For Americans its international perspective is vital, too. Not the head-in-the-sand myopia of American papers and so-called "journalism." Head and shoulders above the Wall St. Jnl. We got our most recent subscription (this is our 3rd time) through the FT and--as before--delivery of the paper is erratic. Several days a month it simply doesn't arrive. (Has to be flown in from Chicago, is my understanding.) Missed the last two weekend editions, which are the week's best. I call in, get credit. But it's a hassle and still annoying and never gets any better. That's why 3 stars. Still, it sounds a lot better than what Amazon provides. So try to get your subscription directly. For $99 it's a terrific bargain. |

| Newspaper as always is full of good news. This is the first time i've ordered the newspaper through Amazon.com and in the first couple of weeks, I'm getting the paper a day late into my mailbox. |

Financial Times
The FT is an excellent newspaper providing daily coverage of financial news, but also of the cultural scene, of the arts and the book world from a worldwide perspective.
The problem is in the delivery system with chinks not having been taken care of over several years: my order went in Sept.11, with a prospective delivery date of Sept.28. After my purchase this date changed to Oct. 16, but when I used the automated phone line to the supplier Synapse, the delivery changed again to Oct. 26 - and this company has not even processed my subscription yet by getting in touch with the FT.
In sum: customers could be much better served than this. |
Financial Times is excellent

The Financial Times is of the highest order. I'm an accountant for a giant drug store chain in the USA I won't face the business world with out Financial Times.
However, I see a number of complaints about the inefficiency of having it delivered thru Amazon.
So far I have been able to keep myself in FT by using the American Airlines magazines for miles program. The fun part is No Cash! You just trade in 2,200 miles and get a year subscription. It's very nice.
The down side to that solution is that you have to catch it listed as an available publication on the mags for miles website. This is difficult. Basically you just have to check the website [...] three or four times a week until you hit the jackpot. Believe me if the FT is listed as available order now! Do not go refill your cup then expect to reorder. Poof! It's gone.
I make sure I re-order months before my subscription expires.
Be well informed. Read Financial Times.
