Tilt is bad in pinball, but Financial Times hopes it’s good when it comes to covering emerging markets, as the newspaper announced the debut of FT Tilt, a premium online financial news and analysis service covering that sector.
FT Tilt was launched by the same team that created financial blog FT Alphaville, which made its U.S. debut in September 2009, and it will cover Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, South and East Asia, Russia, and Eastern Europe.
The service also includes Tilt Populi, a community where approved members share commentary or research on emerging markets topics; Tilt Pro, a premium, subscription-only area with exclusive news, analysis, and insight; and an enhanced search and filtering system. FT Tempo — in which FT Tilt journalists offer a “sentiment score” when news is published, calculating whether it will be upbeat or downbeat for companies, sectors, or asset classes involved — will be added soon.
