Maybe the FT is finally getting the hang of this online thingy

PaidContent: “From September 1, the paper is doubling the 12-hour delay it puts on the release of stories to distributors such as LexisNexis and Factiva. That means FT stories will remain reserved to readers of the newspaper and website until midnight UK time, a full 24 hours after publication. Nigel Pocklington, the paper’s director of online publishing said that it was good for the paper to develop direct relationships with corporate customers.”

PaidContent also notes something that I’ve long argued: “But first, they have to deal with the mess of a site called FT.com. It is probably the worst site (besides Forbes.com) among the big media news sites, in terms of usability, design, information architecture etc.”
