Overview

Agenda is a boardroom resource with dedicated journalists that deliver award-winning analysis on the U.S. corporate board space.

  • Research Vault
    Our database lets you explore third-party reports, white papers, surveys and studies.


FAQ:

  • Who reads Agenda? Our primary readers are public board directors and officers, including general counsels and corporate secretaries. C-suite executives and compliance teams also benefit from Agenda’s coverage.
  • What topics does Agenda cover? Both our articles and director education webcasts cover the key issues board members are interested in, from corporate governance, new board nominations, and benchmarking, to director compensation, risk management, and legal and regulatory changes. 
  • Where can I access Agenda? Our twice-weekly issues are emailed to our readers and trialists, with each issue also available on our website for printing or digital reading.
  • Some groups put out free content, why should I read Agenda? Agenda offers original analysis rather than aggregation, and prides itself on speaking directly to and quoting a variety of directors for a true sense of how your peers are approaching challenges. Our pieces are concise yet in depth - we know our readers only have time for quality information.
  • How do I read Agenda? Agenda offers corporate subscriptions for your whole board to stay up-to-date on the changing boardroom landscape. If your board already has a subscription, contact us here to join. If not, we offer free three-week trials   so you and your board can see our value.

Our Commitment:

It is fundamental to the integrity and success of the Financial Times (FT) that we uphold the highest possible standards of ethical and professional journalism, and that we are seen to do so. 

As a subsidiary of the Financial Times, Agenda and its journalism are subject to a self-regulation regime under the FT Editorial Code of Practice: www.ft.com/editorialcode.

Our Actions:

In December 2021, the FT's Appointments and Oversight Committee appointed Christina Michalos QC as its new Editorial Complaints Commissioner. The role will ensure a continued means of dealing with reader complaints following the closure of the UK Press Complaints Commission. Her remit is to support the FT’s existing framework for handling editorial complaints, independent of the editor.

Read our guide to the policies and processes of the Complaints Commissioner here.

If you wish to request a clarification or correction, or make a complaint about any of our editorial content or journalistic activity, please email managing editor Melissa Anderson manderson@AgendaWeek.com.

Where any complaint under the FT Editorial Code is unable to be resolved by FT’s senior editors, the Complaints Commissioner will review the matter and recommend any appropriate redress.
