Above inflation pay-rise for FT journalists, with bonuses for staff who have ‘deepened audience engagement’

The Financial Times is giving all of its journalists above-inflation pay rises of around 2 per cent.

The Retail Prices Index inflation figure currently stands at 1.6 per cent.

The NUJ-brokered deal comes as the FT also promised to offer its editorial interns payments at the national minimum wage.
