Digital Business aims to be “definitive”, explaining in print, podcast and online the issues vital to its audience – business readers and investors.
There is regular coverage of “Issues affecting business”: new products, security, green IT and much more, as well as the people working in IT. Plus in-depth analysis of a single subject in our Digital Business digest packages of print tabloid, video, audio and online content.
On FT.com, the Digital Business pages have fresh content every day – including Personal View Online debates, with contributions from the industry and others (send ideas for topics to peter.whitehead@ft.com); Geoff Nairn’s weekly round-up of What’s New from the IT vendors; a weekly podcast, and more.
To receive e-mailed updates about our schedule, send your e-mail address to digitalbusiness@ft.com, with “UPDATE REQUEST” in the subject field.
