Pearson CFO Freestone Won’t Rule Out Sale of Financial Times

Pearson Plc wouldn’t rule out a sale of the Financial Times as Chief Financial Officer Robin Freestone told investors that the company may eventually re-examine its ownership of the newspaper.

“We look at the ownership of that and say, ‘Are we the best owners for it?’” Freestone said yesterday at a conference in Barcelona organized by Morgan Stanley. “So far the answer is yes. That could change.”
