class="ArticleBody_root__v3lEQ"><p></p><p>“We’re aggressively expanding in America,” said Lionel Barber, managing editor of the American edition of the British newspaper the Financial Times. “We’ve raised our profile here through some difficult times, such as a downturn in advertising.”</p><br> <p>“We’re not Redcoats,” Mr. Barber said, in an intriguing historical reference. “We’re here to stay.”</p><br> <p>There’s not only an assertiveness but an erudition in his conversation, and references to the Federalist Papers. There’s a vignette or two about his interviews with President Bush, Chancellor Schroder, and other world leaders. There are suggestions of discreet meetings with Whitehall sources, including British ministers. There are anecdotes of exposes that disclosed wrongdoing in high places.</p><br> <p>“I’ve been very privileged, and very lucky to have had wonderful opportunities in journalism,” Mr. Barber said.</p><br> <p>Indeed, the tall and fit-looking Mr. Barber conjures up in his interviewer’s mind the image of the classic foreign correspondent – urbane, Oxford-educated, possessing a bespoke wardrobe, stints in Brussels, London, and Washington; fluent in French and German; equally at ease in newsrooms, diplomatic salons, and corporate boardrooms; as prominent on the society scene as on the broadcast-show and lecture circuit.</p><br> <p>Mr. Barber is all of these things. Add to the mix a wife, Victoria Greenwood, who’s a criminologist; and two children, Dash – named after one of Mr. Barber’s favorite authors, Dashiell Hammett – and Francesca. Add, too, some journalistic awards, including Britain’s “Young Journalist of the Year” in 1981, and fellowships at the Washington Post, the University of California at Berkeley, and the European University Institute in Florence.</p><br> <p>Most of all, there’s the fact that the 50-year-old Mr. Barber is widely viewed as having made a hugely successful transition from an acclaimed reporter and foreign correspondent to being an editor.</p><br> <p>While Mr. Barber did not volunteer the information, the reporter noted over lunch that he was marking two special anniversaries. Mr. Barber joined the Financial Times – or FT, as it’s known – 20 years ago, after sojourns at the Sunday Times in London and the Scotsman in Edinburgh, where he wrote investigative and business stories. He came to New York three years ago to take over from Robert Thomson the American edition, which had been launched in 1997 by Richard Lambert, then the FT’s editor.</p><br> <p>Mr. Barber acknowledged that both Mr. Lambert and Mr. Thomson strengthened its editorial presence in America. “It’s very important to pay tribute to them,” he said. “I’ve built on their work.”</p><br> <p>The son of hard-driving Yorkshire journalist, Mr. Barber grew up in modest circumstances with his twin brother Stephen, who’s now in finance, and younger brother Tony, now the FT’s correspondent in Rome.</p><br> <p>The fourfold growth in the FT’s American daily circulation over the last seven years to 132,000 today is due in no small measure to Mr. Barber’s relentless efforts to enhance the newspaper’s coverage of this country by his staff of 65 in America, 45 of them based in New York.</p><br> <p>“We’re different,” Mr. Barber said. “We’re genuinely international, and we present news in a global context. We have correspondents in different parts of the world who work together so that we are able to offer excellent cross-border coverage. People expect the FT to offer analysis. We’re concise. No story jumps to another page. Americans like that.”</p><br> <p>The American circulation of the FT is now the same as its circulation in Britain. Worldwide, the FT prints 440,000 copies; its electronic edition – <a href="http://www.ft.com">www.ft.com</a> – has 80,000 paid subscribers, and gets 3.5 million unique visitors each month.</p><br> <p>And were there surprises about his job?</p><br> <p>“I’m pleasantly surprised at the access the FT enjoys at the highest levels on Wall Street, and in government,” Mr. Barber said. “I’m also surprised at the amount of time spent on managing people. In this job, you have to work well with other people to get the best results. You can’t do this on your own. You can’t hand down edicts. You’ve got to be sympathetic to people’s own situations. As an editor, you must also mentor and support young reporters. I suppose these are lessons about people, rather than surprises.”</p><br> <p>He first learned management lessons when the FT made him its news editor in 1998, after he’d spent six years in Brussels as the FT’s chief European correspondent. “My wife said that Brussels was the right place to be at the time – and she was dead right,” Mr. Barber recalled. “I covered the Maastricht Treaty; I came to understand the development of the European Union. I interviewed heads of government. I made lasting friendships.”</p><br> <p>The Brussels post had followed six years in Washington, where Mr. Barber made a name for himself covering the administration of President George H. W. Bush. The Cold War had ended with the collapse of the Soviet Union. The detritus of the Iran-Contra affair was still around. Mr. Barber said he felt “the American press rushed to judgment – it was very fashionable to write off the foreign policy of the Bush administration.”</p><br> <p>His approach was level-headed. “I made a deliberate effort to cultivate people, I went to top officials and said, ‘You’ve really got to talk to us because through the FT you can reach a big and influential international audience,'” Mr. Barber said. “I never promised anyone anything other than a fair shake. And I think I made an impact in opening up foreign-policy sources for the FT.”</p><br> <p>His work in Washington and then Brussels was being closely followed at FT headquarters in London. The precurser of the FT, the Financial and Mining Times, was established in 1884. The modern-day FT, distinguished by its pink newsprint, was formed in 1945 with the merger of two rivals, the Financial Times and the Financial News. In 2004, the FT Group had sales of $399 million.</p><br> <p>“I was ready for a management position,” Mr. Barber said of his return to London from Brussels. In his job as news editor, he got the opportunity to set the agenda for the FT’s daily report. He was then put in charge of developing the FT’s European edition. Throughout this period, Mr. Barber said, he kept a special eye on America, a country that he admired for its open society.</p><br> <p>“I’ve never been one to plan my career – but I’ve always been determined to make the most of an opportunity,” Mr. Barber said, referring to his return to America in April 2002. And how did he see America now?</p><br> <p>“I’ve always thought that America has essentially been a force for good in the world – the history of the 20th century bears this out,” Mr. Barber said. “I’m somewhat troubled many people outside the U.S. believe that’s no longer the case. That, at least, is the perception. And while the American political system is extraordinarily robust, I worry that the system is being put under extraordinary strain. I’m also worried about the assault on judges, both physical and verbal.”</p><br> <p>In reviewing his journalistic career, was there something he felt was missing? “It’s a shame that my father didn’t live to see me in this job,” Mr. Barber said. Frank Barber, who transmitted his great passion for journalism to his son, died in 1999.</p><p></p> </div></div></article><div class="mx-auto max-w-[680px]"><a class="flex items-center gap-2

There’s a vignette or two about his interviews with President Bush, Chancellor Schroder, and other world leaders. There are suggestions of discreet meetings with Whitehall sources, including British ministers. There are anecdotes of exposes that disclosed wrongdoing in high places.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“I’ve been very privileged, and very lucky to have had wonderful opportunities in journalism,” Mr. Barber said.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIndeed, the tall and fit-looking Mr. Barber conjures up in his interviewer’s mind the image of the classic foreign correspondent – urbane, Oxford-educated, possessing a bespoke wardrobe, stints in Brussels, London, and Washington; fluent in French and German; equally at ease in newsrooms, diplomatic salons, and corporate boardrooms; as prominent on the society scene as on the broadcast-show and lecture circuit.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMr. Barber is all of these things. Add to the mix a wife, Victoria Greenwood, who’s a criminologist; and two children, Dash – named after one of Mr. Barber’s favorite authors, Dashiell Hammett – and Francesca. Add, too, some journalistic awards, including Britain’s “Young Journalist of the Year” in 1981, and fellowships at the Washington Post, the University of California at Berkeley, and the European University Institute in Florence.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost of all, there’s the fact that the 50-year-old Mr. Barber is widely viewed as having made a hugely successful transition from an acclaimed reporter and foreign correspondent to being an editor.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile Mr. Barber did not volunteer the information, the reporter noted over lunch that he was marking two special anniversaries. Mr. Barber joined the Financial Times – or FT, as it’s known – 20 years ago, after sojourns at the Sunday Times in London and the Scotsman in Edinburgh, where he wrote investigative and business stories. He came to New York three years ago to take over from Robert Thomson the American edition, which had been launched in 1997 by Richard Lambert, then the FT’s editor.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMr. Barber acknowledged that both Mr. Lambert and Mr. Thomson strengthened its editorial presence in America. “It’s very important to pay tribute to them,” he said. “I’ve built on their work.”\u003c/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe son of hard-driving Yorkshire journalist, Mr. Barber grew up in modest circumstances with his twin brother Stephen, who’s now in finance, and younger brother Tony, now the FT’s correspondent in Rome.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fourfold growth in the FT’s American daily circulation over the last seven years to 132,000 today is due in no small measure to Mr. Barber’s relentless efforts to enhance the newspaper’s coverage of this country by his staff of 65 in America, 45 of them based in New York.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“We’re different,” Mr. Barber said. “We’re genuinely international, and we present news in a global context. We have correspondents in different parts of the world who work together so that we are able to offer excellent cross-border coverage. People expect the FT to offer analysis. We’re concise. No story jumps to another page. Americans like that.”\u003c/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe American circulation of the FT is now the same as its circulation in Britain. Worldwide, the FT prints 440,000 copies; its electronic edition – \u003ca href=\"http://www.ft.com\"\u003ewww.ft.com\u003c/a\u003e – has 80,000 paid subscribers, and gets 3.5 million unique visitors each month.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd were there surprises about his job?\u003c/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“I’m pleasantly surprised at the access the FT enjoys at the highest levels on Wall Street, and in government,” Mr. Barber said. “I’m also surprised at the amount of time spent on managing people. In this job, you have to work well with other people to get the best results. You can’t do this on your own. You can’t hand down edicts. You’ve got to be sympathetic to people’s own situations. As an editor, you must also mentor and support young reporters. I suppose these are lessons about people, rather than surprises.”\u003c/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe first learned management lessons when the FT made him its news editor in 1998, after he’d spent six years in Brussels as the FT’s chief European correspondent. “My wife said that Brussels was the right place to be at the time – and she was dead right,” Mr. Barber recalled. “I covered the Maastricht Treaty; I came to understand the development of the European Union. I interviewed heads of government. I made lasting friendships.”\u003c/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Brussels post had followed six years in Washington, where Mr. Barber made a name for himself covering the administration of President George H. W. Bush. The Cold War had ended with the collapse of the Soviet Union. The detritus of the Iran-Contra affair was still around. Mr. Barber said he felt “the American press rushed to judgment – it was very fashionable to write off the foreign policy of the Bush administration.”\u003c/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis approach was level-headed. “I made a deliberate effort to cultivate people, I went to top officials and said, ‘You’ve really got to talk to us because through the FT you can reach a big and influential international audience,'” Mr. Barber said. “I never promised anyone anything other than a fair shake. And I think I made an impact in opening up foreign-policy sources for the FT.”\u003c/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis work in Washington and then Brussels was being closely followed at FT headquarters in London. The precurser of the FT, the Financial and Mining Times, was established in 1884. The modern-day FT, distinguished by its pink newsprint, was formed in 1945 with the merger of two rivals, the Financial Times and the Financial News. In 2004, the FT Group had sales of $399 million.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“I was ready for a management position,” Mr. Barber said of his return to London from Brussels. In his job as news editor, he got the opportunity to set the agenda for the FT’s daily report. He was then put in charge of developing the FT’s European edition. Throughout this period, Mr. Barber said, he kept a special eye on America, a country that he admired for its open society.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“I’ve never been one to plan my career – but I’ve always been determined to make the most of an opportunity,” Mr. Barber said, referring to his return to America in April 2002. And how did he see America now?\u003c/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“I’ve always thought that America has essentially been a force for good in the world – the history of the 20th century bears this out,” Mr. Barber said. “I’m somewhat troubled many people outside the U.S. believe that’s no longer the case. That, at least, is the perception. And while the American political system is extraordinarily robust, I worry that the system is being put under extraordinary strain. I’m also worried about the assault on judges, both physical and verbal.”\u003c/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn reviewing his journalistic career, was there something he felt was missing? “It’s a shame that my father didn’t live to see me in this job,” Mr. Barber said. Frank Barber, who transmitted his great passion for journalism to his son, died in 1999.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n","yoast":{"title":"This British Invader Is Planning On an Extended Stateside Stay | The New York Sun","description":"This article is from the archive of The New York Sun before the launch of its new website in 2022.
