Garrahan writes, “In a discussion with John Ridding, chief executive of the FT, and James Harding, director of BBC News, Mr Kita said the two companies would collaborate on digital expansion and third-party content distribution via platforms such as Facebook.
“‘Print media is shrinking dramatically in Japan,’ he said, adding that Nikkei’s revenues from print advertising had halved in the past eight years and lost 300,000 print sales during the same period.
“Nikkei has a print circulation of 2.8m and 480,000 digital subscribers. The FT has a total paid-for readership of 780,000.
