I was a subscriber for ten years, but gave up on them over mediocre coverage of important issues in the US and East Asia, about which I had some knowledge. Relying on their reporting risked costing me money in my investment decisions.

Indeed. FT used to be a must-read 15 years ago with investigative journalism and decent counterpoints on any issue. Now it's mostly one-sided opinion with little more information than you can read everywhere else. It's very sad.

I feel like everything is this way nowadays.

Apparently the only real news left is embassy cables.

This sounds like an instance of the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect. At the end of the day, it’s still journalism.

Do you have an opinion on Asia.Nikkei.com?

Wasn't asked but wanted to chime in as well: I think they share some of the content now that the FT is owned by Nikkei. I notice some Nikkei bylines in the FT from time to time.

For the record, I find the East Asia (and Europe) coverage decent. It's their US section that I'd say is in dire need of an improvement. Overall, a lot boils down to individual correspondents/writers: some are great while others not so much and thus best skipped (although the comments can also provide a lot of insight if the topic as such is interesting).

Isn't that the same news organization now?

[malloryerik]

Well the same ownership, Nikkei.
