The Financial Times is asking readers to contribute to future leader columns.

Readers will be able to help shape the paper’s editorial line through its Arena blog, which launched on 28 April, joining Financial Times writers in online debates about topics for upcoming leader columns.

The FT said that the trial project aims to incorporate views of the FT.com community into leader columns.
