Gordon Smith
Newsletter Writer/Editor
Financial Times

I am a business journalist with over three decades of experience. I currently write the FT's FirstFT Americas morning briefing newsletter and edit a variety of other weekly emails on topics ranging from work and careers to climate change and US politics.

I currently work on the Financial Times' newsletter team but have done a number of editing and writing roles since joining the news organisation in 2001. 


Before joining the newsletter team I worked on the social media desk, the world desk and the main news desk in a variety of writing and editing roles. 


Prior to joining the FT I worked for the Press Association, where I trained as a business journalist and ran the financial listings desk. My first entry into online journalism was working at the The Street.co.uk, a US-owned market news website, at the height of the dotcom boom in 2000. I moved  from there to FTMarketWatch, a joint venture between CBSMarketwatch and the FT before moving to the FT in DEcember 2001.
