Pearson plc Company Profile
There's nothing fishy about information from Pearson, home of salmon-colored newspaper The Financial Times. The media giant operates through three primary business groups: FT Group, Pearson Education, and Penguin Group. It provides financial information and business news through FT Group, which includes The Financial Times (known locally as the "Pink 'Un"), related Web site FT.com, the 50%-owned The Economist, and a 60% stake in US-based financial information provider Interactive Data Corporation. Pearson Education is the world's top educational publisher of textbooks and related material. Penguin Group, through imprints such as Putnam and Viking, publishes fiction, non-fiction, and reference titles.
