Pearson chief executive Marjorie Scardino said Monday that she was very proud of the performance of The Financial Times as the parent company reported its 2007 financial results.
“She downplayed the threat posed by Murdoch, who is believed by many analysts to have the New York Times in his sights more than the FT.

“‘It’s a niche strategy that we will keep to. But we’re always mindful of the Journal as we are always mindful of the Guardian and everybody else.’
