The Financial News was a daily British newspaper published in London. It was founded in 1884 by Harry Marks. Marks began his career with United States newspapers. He set up Financial News to expose fraudulent investments. Marks himself was key to the paper's early growth, when it had a buccaneering nature to fight against corruption and to compete with the Financial Times. After Marks' death, sales declined. Financial News was subsequently bought by publishers Eyre & Spottiswoode in 1928 and run by Brendan Bracken. It eventually merged with Financial Times in 1945.
