Help Out a Fellow TFP-er - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

SecretMethod70 · 10-17-2005, 05:16 PM

Hey everyone, I could use a little help. I need to analyze news coverage of a particular story of my choosing in the Financial Times. Problem is, I don't have a subscription! (Long story.) I was hoping someone here might be a Financial Times subscriber and not mind letting me use their login for the FT website for a bit to read articles on there. Right now I've been buying the FT for $1.50 every day, but that adds up and it would be nice if I could just get the articles from their website for free.

Anyway, if anyone here is a Financial Times subscriber, it'd be REALLY appreciated

If you're not sure whether or not you have online access to the FT, I think all subscribers do, you may just have to enter your info to get a login for the site. I'd be REEEEEEALLLY greatful to anyone who could help me out!

Did you check www.bugmenot.com for a login for the website?

I tried a bugmenot but the only login they had didn't work. Would the free 15 day trial subscription not work for you?

Edit: Oh hell. I didn't realize that when you click on the "This Login Didn't Work" thingy that it gives you another one to try. I still didn't find one that worked but still...

hey,

I'd check out if your college already has a subscription for it [in print or online]. Colleges usually have quite a bit of subscriptions to various sources and stuff - saved me some money

cya later,
will.

Forgot to mention, I tried Bugmenot but none of them work (I went through 20 tries

)

Can't do the 15-day trial subscription for various reasons.

As for the college library, I haven't checked that specifically. Part of the "books" for the class I need this for is to subscribe to the FT for 10 weeks, so I don't think the library has it available online or anything. I couldn't subscribe to the FT though, for various reasons. Plus, when I have looked up periodicals and such at the library, I've typically seen a 3 month delay - doesn't do me much good as I am only interested in articles from Sep 15 or so to Oct 30.
