READERSHIP & REACH
Growing readership
The FT has pursued a subscription model which has taken our paid-for readership to over 1 million subscribers. Committed to maintaining its gold-standard journalism, FT.com is designed to take this growth even further and to ensure readers can enjoy content across all platforms and devices.
The FT's Monthly Global Reach (MGR)
The FT now has the largest audience in its 135 year history with a truly global reach. Because so many of our readers consume FT content on multiple platforms, we have pioneered a way to determine unduplicated audience numbers.
The Financial Times Commercial Strategy & Insight Department has developed a model called Monthly Global Reach (MGR) to measure net audience of Financial Times content, regardless or channel. This is our best estimate of the de-duplicated number of people across the globe who across a month consume FT content via the print newspaper or digitally via the FT.com browser-accessed website or the FT web app.
MGR also identifies multi-platform users, which represent one of our most highly-engaged audiences. To do this, duplicated use is deducted from the gross audience to ensure each member of this group is only counted once in the net measurement.
MGR reveals that the FT reaches, on average, 21 million readers every month during a 12 month period. And as syndicated readership surveys show, those readers are senior business decision-makers, high net worth consumers and influential policymakers.
