The Financial
Times’ digital subscribers surpassed its print customers for the first time,
marking a milestone that the New York Times and other newspapers with so-called
paywalls are aiming to reach.
The newspaper’s digital subscribers grew 31
percent to 300,000 paying readers, compared with a year ago, Financial Times
owner Pearson Plc (PSON) said today. Total circulation, including print,
increased to almost 600,000.
