The Financial Times Group and CNBC are discussing sharing news resources to uphold Web operations, according to people familiar with these two companies.

A possibility is that the Financial Times could use video clips from CNBC on its website, www.ft.com, and in return, CNBC would have access to Financial Times articles on its website, www.cnbc.com.

This partnership may the two news companies closer, especially if CNBC and the Financial Times' strong competitor, The Wall Street Journal, terminate their content-sharing agreement in the United States.
