Legacy Financial Media Faces Wokeness Criticism Over Editorial Shift

Isabella Kaminska, a former FT journalist, argues in a Telegraph column that the Financial Times shifted from a candid elite forum to a "timid, risk-averse" outlet, citing the London Stock Exchange Group’s cancellation of hundreds of corporate subscriptions. She attributes the change to a business-model pivot toward global digital subscribers; the FT reported a 66.9% rise in digital circulation to 43,043 in 2025 amid a roughly 34% decade print decline.
