The Financial Times currently features a variety of other regular supplements. “Companies and Markets” is a broadsheet newspaper insert, which is published each weekday. In addition, the “FTfm” tabloid newspaper section provides a weekly review of the fund management industry and is distributed every Monday. The “Appointments” broadsheet section comes with the paper each Thursday. Special Reports are also often provided with the newspaper on any given day.

The Saturday edition of the newspaper was refreshed on 26th April 2008. The “Companies and Markets” supplement merged into the main newspaper, whilst the weekly “Life and Arts“, “House and Home” and “Money” sections were all redesigned. The weekly “Financial Times Magazine” was also re-named the “FT Weekend Magazine“. However, the monthly “How to Spend it” magazine continued to appear as before, along with its occasional special editions.

insights from our archivist

These aren’t replicas. They’re the actual newspapers that sat on newsstands up to 125 years ago. The one you buy could be the last copy in existence.

Prices can vary for several reasons, like popularity of a specific day, whether the paper is local or national, the paper’s age, and the number of copies left.

Missing papers give us a window into history. If a paper isn’t available for the date you’re after, it could be because that newspaper was on strike during the period.
