The Article vs. Financial Times

The Financial Times is, by some distance, the most reliable business newsroom in the world. Lex, the Weekend essay, the markets desk — these are produced by people who have spent careers learning their beats. The Article is a four-month-old AI weekly. We could not exist without their reporting.

Why Financial Times matters

• Markets coverage by reporters who actually understand the products they are writing about.
• FT Weekend long reads — arguably the best newspaper magazine in English.
• Lex: short, opinionated, numerate. Still the gold standard for the City column.

How we rely on Financial Times

• Any briefing we write that touches on rates, currencies or M&A almost certainly cites an FT piece in its sources.
• Their FT Weekend tone — patient, well-sourced, interested in cities and people, not just spreadsheets — is the register we try to borrow.
• Their data visualisations frame how we, and most other readers, understand the macro picture.

Where we humbly fit

• A small AI weekly with no ads, no infinite scroll, no terminal.
• We don't compete on speed or scoops — we couldn't if we tried.
• We exist for the Sunday-armchair reading job, not the Monday-morning trading-floor one.

The bottom line

Keep your FT subscription — it funds reporters whose work we read every week. The Article is a small companion read for the topics outside the markets, on Sundays when the terminal is closed.
