FT Expands Video Content

The website of the Financial Times is destined to significantly increase its video content in 2008.

Press Gazette reports that FT.com will expand the current number of online video packages with a regular news update service after signing a new deal with Reuters.

“We now create and publish over 100 popular videos of our own every month and this number will increase in 2008,” commented Ian Cheng, managing editor at the online FT.

He added: “Video from Reuters will play an important role in complementing and building on this as we move into 2008.”

The news agency already supplies FT.com with still photos and commercial data as a consequence of a contract secured in October 2007.
