Morning daily newspaper published in London.
Founded in 1888, it competed for many years with four other finance-oriented papers, finally in 1945 absorbing the last of them. Known as one of England's best papers, it specializes in reporting international business and financial news while maintaining an independent editorial outlook. Printed as a broadsheet on distinctive pink newsprint, it has had a strong influence on the British government's financial policies, and its circulation is one of the world's highest among financial newspapers.
