Martin Stabe leaves Emap to join Financial Times

Martin Stabe is leaving Emap to join the Financial Times as a producer on FT.com’s interactive desk.

Writing on his blog, Martin, who was online editor for Retail Week, says: "It’s a great opportunity to finally practice the area of journalism that has most fascinated me in recent years — the visualisation of data and integration of multimedia elements in online journalism."

While at Emap, Martin helped relaunch four websites — Retail Week, Drapers, Retail Jeweller and Professional Beauty — and was part of the team that pioneered Emap’s paywall strategy. Previously he was new media editor of Press Gazette.
