The Turkey launch follows strong demand for FT content in a region with a growing economy and increasing global importance.
Ben Hughes, FT’s global commercial director and deputy CEO, said: “We reached a significant milestone this year when our global print operations became profitable. The FT’s launch in Turkey is a great moment to recognise the importance of and demand for quality news in print as part of our successful channel-neutral content strategy.”
The FT recently topped the ‘international daily newspaper’ category in the latest EMS Europe survey by Ipsos, which measures the media consumption habits of Europe’s top business decision makers. The FT was the favourite in Turkey, which has 38,000 daily print readers, as well as the overall top choice in Europe.
