The agency was established in London in 1851 by the German-born Paul Reuter. It was acquired by the Thomson Corporation of Canada in 2008 and now makes up the media division of Thomson Reuters.[6]

History

19th century

 
Paul Reuter, the founder of Reuters (photographed by Nadar, c. 1865)

Paul Reuter worked at a book-publishing firm in Berlin and was involved in distributing radical pamphlets at the beginning of the Revolutions in 1848. These publications brought much attention to Reuter, who in 1850 developed a prototype news service in Aachen using homing pigeons and electric telegraphy from 1851 on, in order to transmit messages between Brussels and Aachen,[7] in what today is Aachen's Reuters House.

Reuter moved to London in 1851 and established a news wire agency at the London Royal Exchange. Headquartered in London, Reuter's company initially covered commercial news, serving banks, brokerage houses, and business firms.[7] The first newspaper client to subscribe was the London Morning Advertiser in 1858, and more began to subscribe soon after.[7][8] According to the Encyclopædia Britannica: "the value of Reuters to newspapers lay not only in the financial news it provided but in its ability to be the first to report on stories of international importance."[7] It was the first to report Abraham Lincoln's assassination in Europe, for instance, in 1865.[7][9]

In 1865, Reuter incorporated his private business, under the name Reuter's Telegram Company Limited; Reuter was appointed managing director of the company.[10]

In 1870 the press agencies French Havas (founded in 1835), British Reuter's (founded in 1851) and German Wolff (founded in 1849) signed an agreement (known as the Ring Combination) that set 'reserved territories' for the three agencies. Each agency made its own separate contracts with national agencies or other subscribers within its territory. In practice, Reuters, who came up with the idea, tended to dominate the Ring Combination. Its influence was greatest because its reserved territories were larger or of greater news importance than most others. It also had more staff and stringers throughout the world and thus contributed more original news to the pool. British control of cable lines made London itself an unrivalled centre for world news, further enhanced by Britain's wide-ranging commercial, financial and imperial activities.[11]

In 1872, Reuter's expanded into the Far East, followed by South America in 1874. Both expansions were made possible by advances in overland telegraphs and undersea cables.[9] In 1878, Reuter retired as managing director, and was succeeded by his eldest son, Herbert de Reuter.[10] In 1883, Reuter's began transmitting messages electrically to London newspapers.[9]

20th century

 
Roderick Jones, general manager 1915–1941

Reuter's son Herbert de Reuter continued as general manager until his death by suicide in 1915. The company returned to private ownership in 1916, when all shares were purchased by Roderick Jones and Mark Napier; they renamed the company "Reuters Limited", dropping the apostrophe.[10] In 1923, Reuters began using radio to transmit news internationally, a pioneering act.[9] In 1925, the Press Association (PA) of Great Britain acquired a majority interest in Reuters, and full ownership some years later.[7] During the world wars, The Guardian reported that Reuters: "came under pressure from the British government to serve national interests. In 1941, Reuters deflected the pressure by restructuring itself as a private company."[9] In 1941, the PA sold half of Reuters to the Newspaper Proprietors' Association, and co-ownership was expanded in 1947 to associations that represented daily newspapers in New Zealand and Australia.[7] In 1945, Reuters was the first broadcasting company to broadcast news of Heinrich Himmler's attempts to negotiate with the western allies through Count Bernadotte, a Swedish nobleman. The new owners formed the Reuters Trust. The Reuters Trust Principles were put in place to maintain the company's independence.[12] At that point, Reuters had become "one of the world's major news agencies, supplying both text and images to newspapers, other news agencies, and radio and television broadcasters."[7] Also at that point, it directly or through national news agencies provided service "to most countries, reaching virtually all the world's leading newspapers and many thousands of smaller ones," according to Britannica.[7]

In 1961, Reuters scooped news of the erection of the Berlin Wall.[13] Reuters was one of the first news agencies to transmit financial data over oceans via computers in the 1960s.[7] In 1973, Reuters "began making computer-terminal displays of foreign-exchange rates available to clients."[7] In 1981, Reuters began supporting electronic transactions on its computer network and afterwards developed a number of electronic brokerage and trading services.[7] Reuters was floated as a public company in 1984,[13] when Reuters Trust was listed on the stock exchanges[9] such as the London Stock Exchange (LSE) and NASDAQ.[7] Reuters later published the first story of the Berlin Wall being breached in 1989.[13]

21st century

Reuters' share price grew during the dotcom boom, then fell after the banking troubles in 2001.[9] In 2002, Britannica wrote that most news throughout the world came from three major agencies: the Associated Press, Reuters, and Agence France-Presse.[5]

Until 2008, the Reuters news agency formed part of an independent company, Reuters Group plc. Reuters was acquired by Thomson Corporation in Canada in 2008, forming Thomson Reuters.[7] In 2009, Thomson Reuters withdrew from the LSE and the NASDAQ, instead listing its shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) and the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).[7] The last surviving member of the Reuters family founders, Marguerite, Baroness de Reuter, died at age 96 on 25 January 2009.[14] The parent company Thomson Reuters is headquartered in Toronto, and provides financial information to clients while also maintaining its traditional news-agency business.[7]

In 2012, Thomson Reuters appointed Jim Smith as CEO.[12] In July 2016, Thomson Reuters agreed to sell its intellectual property and science operation for $3.55 billion to private equity firms.[15] In October 2016, Thomson Reuters announced expansions and relocations to Toronto.[15] As part of cuts and restructuring, in November 2016, Thomson Reuters Corp. eliminated 2,000 jobs worldwide out of its estimated 50,000 employees.[15] On 15 March 2020, Steve Hasker was appointed president and CEO.[16]

In April 2021, Reuters announced that its website would go behind a paywall, following rivals who have done the same.[17][18]

Journalists

Reuters employs some 2,500 journalists and 600 photojournalists[19] in about 200 locations worldwide.[3][4][6] Reuters journalists use the Standards and Values as a guide for fair presentation and disclosure of relevant interests, to "maintain the values of integrity and freedom upon which their reputation for reliability, accuracy, speed and exclusivity relies".[20][21]

In May 2000, Kurt Schork, an American reporter, was killed in an ambush while on assignment in Sierra Leone. In April and August 2003, news cameramen Taras Protsyuk and Mazen Dana were killed in separate incidents by U.S. troops in Iraq. In July 2007, Namir Noor-Eldeen and Saeed Chmagh were killed when they were struck by fire from a U.S. military Apache helicopter in Baghdad.[22][23] During 2004, cameramen Adlan Khasanov was killed by Chechen separatists, and Dhia Najim was killed in Iraq. In April 2008, cameraman Fadel Shana was killed in the Gaza Strip after being hit by an Israeli tank.[24][25]

While covering China's Cultural Revolution in Peking in the late 1960s for Reuters, journalist Anthony Grey was detained by the Chinese government in response to the jailing of several Chinese journalists by the colonial British government of Hong Kong.[26] He was released after being imprisoned for 27 months from 1967 to 1969 and was awarded an OBE by the British Government. After his release, he went on to become a best-selling historical novelist.[27]

In May 2016, the Ukrainian website Myrotvorets published the names and personal data of 4,508 journalists, including Reuters reporters, and other media staff from all over the world, who were accredited by the self-proclaimed authorities in the separatist-controlled regions of eastern Ukraine.[28]

In 2018, two Reuters journalists were convicted in Myanmar of obtaining state secrets while investigating a massacre in a Rohingya village.[29] The arrest and convictions were widely condemned as an attack on press freedom. The journalists, Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo, received several awards, including the Foreign Press Association Media Award and the Pulitzer Prize for International Reporting, and were named as part of the Time Person of the Year for 2018 along with other persecuted journalists.[30][31][32] After 511 days in prison, Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo were freed on 7 March 2019 after receiving a presidential pardon.[33]

Controversies

Accusation of collaboration with the CIA

In 1977, Rolling Stone and The New York Times said that according to information from CIA officials, Reuters cooperated with the CIA.[35][36][37] In response to that, Reuters' then managing director, Gerald Long, had asked for evidence of the charges, but none was provided, according to Reuters's then managing editor for North America,[37] Desmond Maberly.[38][39]

Policy of objective language

 
Reuters building entrance in New York City

Reuters has a policy of taking a "value-neutral approach" which extends to not using the word terrorist in its stories. The practice attracted criticism following the September 11 attacks.[40] Reuters' editorial policy states: "Reuters may refer without attribution to terrorism and counterterrorism in general, but do not refer to specific events as terrorism. Nor does Reuters use the word terrorist without attribution to qualify specific individuals, groups or events."[41] By contrast, the Associated Press does use the term terrorist in reference to non-governmental organizations who carry out attacks on civilian populations.[40] In 2004, Reuters asked CanWest Global Communications, a Canadian newspaper chain, to remove Reuters' bylines, as the chain had edited Reuters articles to insert the word terrorist. A spokesman for Reuters stated: "My goal is to protect my reporters and protect our editorial integrity."[42]

Climate change reporting

In July 2013, David Fogarty, former Reuters climate change correspondent in Asia, resigned after a career of almost 20 years with the company and wrote that "progressively, getting any climate change-themed story published got harder" following comments from then deputy editor-in-chief Paul Ingrassia that he was a climate change sceptic. In his comments, Fogarty stated:[43][44][45]

By mid-October, I was informed that climate change just wasn't a big story for the present, but that it would be if there was a significant shift in global policy, such as the US introducing an emissions cap-and-trade system. Very soon after that conversation I was told my climate change role was abolished.

Ingrassia, formerly Reuters' managing editor, previously worked for The Wall Street Journal and Dow Jones for 31 years.[46][47] Reuters responded to Fogarty's piece by stating: "Reuters has a number of staff dedicated to covering this story, including a team of specialist reporters at Point Carbon and a columnist. There has been no change in our editorial policy."[48]

Subsequently, climate blogger Joe Romm cited a Reuters article on climate as employing "false balance", and quoted Dr. Stefan Rahmstorf, Co-Chair of Earth System Analysis at the Potsdam Institute that "[s]imply, a lot of unrelated climate sceptics nonsense has been added to this Reuters piece. In the words of the late Steve Schneider, this is like adding some nonsense from the Flat Earth Society to a report about the latest generation of telecommunication satellites. It is absurd." Romm opined: "We can't know for certain who insisted on cramming this absurd and non-germane 'climate sceptics nonsense' into the piece, but we have a strong clue. If it had been part of the reporter's original reporting, you would have expected direct quotes from actual sceptics, because that is journalism 101. The fact that the blather was all inserted without attribution suggests it was added at the insistence of an editor."[49]

Photograph controversies

According to Ynetnews, Reuters was accused of bias against Israel in its coverage of the 2006 Israel–Lebanon conflict after the wire service used two doctored photos by a Lebanese freelance photographer, Adnan Hajj.[50] In August 2006, Reuters announced it had severed all ties with Hajj and said his photographs would be removed from its database.[51][52]

In 2010, Reuters was criticised again by Haaretz for "anti-Israeli" bias when it cropped the edges of photos, removing commandos' knives held by activists and a naval commando's blood from photographs taken aboard the Mavi Marmara during the Gaza flotilla raid, a raid that left nine Turkish activists dead. It has been alleged that in two separate photographs, knives held by the activists were cropped out of the versions of the pictures published by Reuters.[53] Reuters said it is standard operating procedure to crop photos at the margins, and replaced the cropped images with the original ones after it was brought to the agency's attention.[53]

On June 9, 2020, three Reuters journalists Jack Stubbs, Raphael Satter, Christopher Bing incorrectly used the image of an Indian herbal medicine entrepreneur in an exclusive story titled: "Obscure Indian cyber firm spied on politicians, investors worldwide".[54] Indian local media picked the report and the man whose image was wrongly used was invited and interrogated for nine hours by Indian police. Reuters admitted to the error clarifying that its reporters had mistaking the man for the suspected hacker Sumit Gupta because both men share same address.[55]

Accusations of pro–Fernando Henrique Cardoso bias

In March 2015, the Brazilian affiliate of Reuters released an excerpt from an interview with Brazilian ex-president Fernando Henrique Cardoso about Operation Car Wash (Portuguese: Operação Lava Jato). In 2014, several politicians from Brazil were found to be involved in corruption, by accepting bribes from different corporations in exchange for Government contracts. After the scandal, the excerpt from Brazil's president Fernando Henrique's interview was released. One paragraph by a former Petrobras manager mentioned a comment, in which he suggested corruption in the company may date back to Cardoso's presidency. Attached, was a comment between parenthesis: "Podemos tirar se achar melhor" ("we can take it out if [you] think better"),[56] which was removed from the current version of the text.[57] This had the effect of confusing readers, and suggests that the former president was involved in corruption and the comment was attributed to him. Reuters later confirmed the error, and explained that the comment, originating from one of the local editors, was actually intended for the journalist who wrote the original text in English, and that it should not have been published.[58]

Funding by the UK Government

In November 2019 the UK Foreign Office released archive documents confirming that it had provided funding to Reuters during the 1960s and 1970s so that Reuters could expand its coverage in the Middle East. An agreement was made between the Information Research Department (IRD) and Reuters for the UK Treasury to provide £350,000 over 4 years to fund Reuters' expansion. The UK government had already been funding the Latin American department of Reuters through a shell company; however, this method was discounted for the Middle East operation due to the accounting of the shell company looking suspicious, with the IRD stating that the company "already looks queer to anyone who might wish to investigate why such an inactive and unprofitable company continues to run."[59] Instead, the BBC was used to fund the project by paying for enhanced subscriptions to the news organisation, for which the Treasury would reimburse the BBC at a later date. The IRD acknowledged that this agreement would not give them editorial control over Reuters, although the IRD believed it would give them political influence over Reuters' work, stating "this influence would flow, at the top level, from Reuters' willingness to consult and to listen to views expressed on the results of its work."[59][60]

Partnership with TASS

On 1 June 2020, Reuters announced that Russian news agency TASS had joined its "Reuters Connect" program, comprising a then-total of 18 partner agencies. Reuters president Michael Friedenberg said he was "delighted that TASS and Reuters are building upon our valued partnership".[61] Two years later, TASS's membership in Reuters Connect came under scrutiny in the wake of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine; Politico reported that Reuters staff members were "frustrated and embarrassed" that their agency had not suspended its partnership with TASS.[62]

On 23 March 2022, Reuters removed TASS from its "content marketplace". Matthew Keen, interim CEO of Reuters said "we believe making TASS content available on Reuters Connect is not aligned with the Thomson Reuters Trust Principles".[63]

Edit Paul Reuter the founder of Reuters photographed by Nadar c 1865 Paul Reuter worked at a book publishing firm in Berlin and was involved in distributing radical pamphlets at the beginning of the Revolutions in 1848 These publications brought much attention to Reuter who in 1850 developed a prototype news service in Aachen using homing pigeons and electric telegraphy from 1851 on in order to transmit messages between Brussels and Aachen 7 in what today is Aachen s Reuters House Reuter moved to London in 1851 and established a news wire agency at the London Royal Exchange Headquartered in London Reuter s company initially covered commercial news serving banks brokerage houses and business firms 7 The first newspaper client to subscribe was the London Morning Advertiser in 1858 and more began to subscribe soon after 7 8 According to the Encyclopaedia Britannica the value of Reuters to newspapers lay not only in the financial news it provided but in its ability to be the first to report on stories of international importance 7 It was the first to report Abraham Lincoln s assassination in Europe for instance in 1865 7 9 In 1865 Reuter incorporated his private business under the name Reuter s Telegram Company Limited Reuter was appointed managing director of the company 10 In 1870 the press agencies French Havas founded in 1835 British Reuter s founded in 1851 and German Wolff founded in 1849 signed an agreement known as the Ring Combination that set reserved territories for the three agencies Each agency made its own separate contracts with national agencies or other subscribers within its territory In practice Reuters who came up with the idea tended to dominate the Ring Combination Its influence was greatest because its reserved territories were larger or of greater news importance than most others It also had more staff and stringers throughout the world and thus contributed more original news to the pool British control of cable lines made London itself an unrivalled centre for world news further enhanced by Britain s wide ranging commercial financial and imperial activities 11 In 1872 Reuter s expanded into the Far East followed by South America in 1874 Both expansions were made possible by advances in overland telegraphs and undersea cables 9 In 1878 Reuter retired as managing director and was succeeded by his eldest son Herbert de Reuter 10 In 1883 Reuter s began transmitting messages electrically to London newspapers 9 20th century Edit Roderick Jones general manager 1915 1941 Reuter s son Herbert de Reuter continued as general manager until his death by suicide in 1915 The company returned to private ownership in 1916 when all shares were purchased by Roderick Jones and Mark Napier they renamed the company Reuters Limited dropping the apostrophe 10 In 1923 Reuters began using radio to transmit news internationally a pioneering act 9 In 1925 the Press Association PA of Great Britain acquired a majority interest in Reuters and full ownership some years later 7 During the world wars The Guardian reported that Reuters came under pressure from the British government to serve national interests In 1941 Reuters deflected the pressure by restructuring itself as a private company 9 In 1941 the PA sold half of Reuters to the Newspaper Proprietors Association and co ownership was expanded in 1947 to associations that represented daily newspapers in New Zealand and Australia 7 In 1945 Reuters was the first broadcasting company to broadcast news of Heinrich Himmler s attempts to negotiate with the western allies through Count Bernadotte a Swedish nobleman The new owners formed the Reuters Trust The Reuters Trust Principles were put in place to maintain the company s independence 12 At that point Reuters had become one of the world s major news agencies supplying both text and images to newspapers other news agencies and radio and television broadcasters 7 Also at that point it directly or through national news agencies provided service to most countries reaching virtually all the world s leading newspapers and many thousands of smaller ones according to Britannica 7 In 1961 Reuters scooped news of the erection of the Berlin Wall 13 Reuters was one of the first news agencies to transmit financial data over oceans via computers in the 1960s 7 In 1973 Reuters began making computer terminal displays of foreign exchange rates available to clients 7 In 1981 Reuters began supporting electronic transactions on its computer network and afterwards developed a number of electronic brokerage and trading services 7 Reuters was floated as a public company in 1984 13 when Reuters Trust was listed on the stock exchanges 9 such as the London Stock Exchange LSE and NASDAQ 7 Reuters later published the first story of the Berlin Wall being breached in 1989 13 21st century Edit Reuters share price grew during the dotcom boom then fell after the banking troubles in 2001 9 In 2002 Britannica wrote that most news throughout the world came from three major agencies the Associated Press Reuters and Agence France Presse 5 Until 2008 the Reuters news agency formed part of an independent company Reuters Group plc Reuters was acquired by Thomson Corporation in Canada in 2008 forming Thomson Reuters 7 In 2009 Thomson Reuters withdrew from the LSE and the NASDAQ instead listing its shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange TSX and the New York Stock Exchange NYSE 7 The last surviving member of the Reuters family founders Marguerite Baroness de Reuter died at age 96 on 25 January 2009 14 The parent company Thomson Reuters is headquartered in Toronto and provides financial information to clients while also maintaining its traditional news agency business 7 In 2012 Thomson Reuters appointed Jim Smith as CEO 12 In July 2016 Thomson Reuters agreed to sell its intellectual property and science operation for 3 55 billion to private equity firms 15 In October 2016 Thomson Reuters announced expansions and relocations to Toronto 15 As part of cuts and restructuring in November 2016 Thomson Reuters Corp eliminated 2 000 jobs worldwide out of its estimated 50 000 employees 15 On 15 March 2020 Steve Hasker was appointed president and CEO 16 In April 2021 Reuters announced that its website would go behind a paywall following rivals who have done the same 17 18 Journalists EditReuters employs some 2 500 journalists and 600 photojournalists 19 in about 200 locations worldwide 3 4 6 Reuters journalists use the Standards and Values as a guide for fair presentation and disclosure of relevant interests to maintain the values of integrity and freedom upon which their reputation for reliability accuracy speed and exclusivity relies 20 21 In May 2000 Kurt Schork an American reporter was killed in an ambush while on assignment in Sierra Leone In April and August 2003 news cameramen Taras Protsyuk and Mazen Dana were killed in separate incidents by U S troops in Iraq In July 2007 Namir Noor Eldeen and Saeed Chmagh were killed when they were struck by fire from a U S military Apache helicopter in Baghdad 22 23 During 2004 cameramen Adlan Khasanov was killed by Chechen separatists and Dhia Najim was killed in Iraq In April 2008 cameraman Fadel Shana was killed in the Gaza Strip after being hit by an Israeli tank 24 25 While covering China s Cultural Revolution in Peking in the late 1960s for Reuters journalist Anthony Grey was detained by the Chinese government in response to the jailing of several Chinese journalists by the colonial British government of Hong Kong 26 He was released after being imprisoned for 27 months from 1967 to 1969 and was awarded an OBE by the British Government After his release he went on to become a best selling historical novelist 27 In May 2016 the Ukrainian website Myrotvorets published the names and personal data of 4 508 journalists including Reuters reporters and other media staff from all over the world who were accredited by the self proclaimed authorities in the separatist controlled regions of eastern Ukraine 28 In 2018 two Reuters journalists were convicted in Myanmar of obtaining state secrets while investigating a massacre in a Rohingya village 29 The arrest and convictions were widely condemned as an attack on press freedom The journalists Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo received several awards including the Foreign Press Association Media Award and the Pulitzer Prize for International Reporting and were named as part of the Time Person of the Year for 2018 along with other persecuted journalists 30 31 32 After 511 days in prison Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo were freed on 7 March 2019 after receiving a presidential pardon 33 Killed on assignment Edit Name Nationality Location Date

Edit In 1977 Rolling Stone and The New York Times said that according to information from CIA officials Reuters cooperated with the CIA 35 36 37 In response to that Reuters then managing director Gerald Long had asked for evidence of the charges but none was provided according to Reuters s then managing editor for North America 37 Desmond Maberly 38 39 Policy of objective language Edit Reuters building entrance in New York City Reuters has a policy of taking a value neutral approach which extends to not using the word terrorist in its stories The practice attracted criticism following the September 11 attacks 40 Reuters editorial policy states Reuters may refer without attribution to terrorism and counterterrorism in general but do not refer to specific events as terrorism Nor does Reuters use the word terrorist without attribution to qualify specific individuals groups or events 41 By contrast the Associated Press does use the term terrorist in reference to non governmental organizations who carry out attacks on civilian populations 40 In 2004 Reuters asked CanWest Global Communications a Canadian newspaper chain to remove Reuters bylines as the chain had edited Reuters articles to insert the word terrorist A spokesman for Reuters stated My goal is to protect my reporters and protect our editorial integrity 42 Climate change reporting Edit In July 2013 David Fogarty former Reuters climate change correspondent in Asia resigned after a career of almost 20 years with the company and wrote that progressively getting any climate change themed story published got harder following comments from then deputy editor in chief Paul Ingrassia that he was a climate change sceptic In his comments Fogarty stated 43 44 45 By mid October I was informed that climate change just wasn t a big story for the present but that it would be if there was a significant shift in global policy such as the US introducing an emissions cap and trade system Very soon after that conversation I was told my climate change role was abolished Ingrassia formerly Reuters managing editor previously worked for The Wall Street Journal and Dow Jones for 31 years 46 47 Reuters responded to Fogarty s piece by stating Reuters has a number of staff dedicated to covering this story including a team of specialist reporters at Point Carbon and a columnist There has been no change in our editorial policy 48 Subsequently climate blogger Joe Romm cited a Reuters article on climate as employing false balance and quoted Dr Stefan Rahmstorf Co Chair of Earth System Analysis at the Potsdam Institute that s imply a lot of unrelated climate sceptics nonsense has been added to this Reuters piece In the words of the late Steve Schneider this is like adding some nonsense from the Flat Earth Society to a report about the latest generation of telecommunication satellites It is absurd Romm opined We can t know for certain who insisted on cramming this absurd and non germane climate sceptics nonsense into the piece but we have a strong clue If it had been part of the reporter s original reporting you would have expected direct quotes from actual sceptics because that is journalism 101 The fact that the blather was all inserted without attribution suggests it was added at the insistence of an editor 49 Photograph controversies Edit According to Ynetnews Reuters was accused of bias against Israel in its coverage of the 2006 Israel Lebanon conflict after the wire service used two doctored photos by a Lebanese freelance photographer Adnan Hajj 50 In August 2006 Reuters announced it had severed all ties with Hajj and said his photographs would be removed from its database 51 52 In 2010 Reuters was criticised again by Haaretz for anti Israeli bias when it cropped the edges of photos removing commandos knives held by activists and a naval commando s blood from photographs taken aboard the Mavi Marmara during the Gaza flotilla raid a raid that left nine Turkish activists dead It has been alleged that in two separate photographs knives held by the activists were cropped out of the versions of the pictures published by Reuters 53 Reuters said it is standard operating procedure to crop photos at the margins and replaced the cropped images with the original ones after it was brought to the agency s attention 53 On June 9 2020 three Reuters journalists Jack Stubbs Raphael Satter Christopher Bing incorrectly used the image of an Indian herbal medicine entrepreneur in an exclusive story titled Obscure Indian cyber firm spied on politicians investors worldwide 54 Indian local media picked the report and the man whose image was wrongly used was invited and interrogated for nine hours by Indian police Reuters admitted to the error clarifying that its reporters had mistaking the man for the suspected hacker Sumit Gupta because both men share same address 55 Accusations of pro Fernando Henrique Cardoso bias Edit In March 2015 the Brazilian affiliate of Reuters released an excerpt from an interview with Brazilian ex president Fernando Henrique Cardoso about Operation Car Wash Portuguese Operacao Lava Jato In 2014 several politicians from Brazil were found to be involved in corruption by accepting bribes from different corporations in exchange for Government contracts After the scandal the excerpt from Brazil s president Fernando Henrique s interview was released One paragraph by a former Petrobras manager mentioned a comment in which he suggested corruption in the company may date back to Cardoso s presidency Attached was a comment between parenthesis Podemos tirar se achar melhor we can take it out if you think better 56 which was removed from the current version of the text 57 This had the effect of confusing readers and suggests that the former president was involved in corruption and the comment was attributed to him Reuters later confirmed the error and explained that the comment originating from one of the local editors was actually intended for the journalist who wrote the original text in English and that it should not have been published 58 Funding by the UK Government Edit In November 2019 the UK Foreign Office released archive documents confirming that it had provided funding to Reuters during the 1960s and 1970s so that Reuters could expand its coverage in the Middle East An agreement was made between the Information Research Department IRD and Reuters for the UK Treasury to provide 350 000 over 4 years to fund Reuters expansion The UK government had already been funding the Latin American department of Reuters through a shell company however this method was discounted for the Middle East operation due to the accounting of the shell company looking suspicious with the IRD stating that the company already looks queer to anyone who might wish to investigate why such an inactive and unprofitable company continues to run 59 Instead the BBC was used to fund the project by paying for enhanced subscriptions to the news organisation for which the Treasury would reimburse the BBC at a later date The IRD acknowledged that this agreement would not give them editorial control over Reuters although the IRD believed it would give them political influence over Reuters work stating this influence would flow at the top level from Reuters willingness to consult and to listen to views expressed on the results of its work 59 60 Partnership with TASS Edit On 1 June 2020 Reuters announced that Russian news agency TASS had joined its Reuters Connect program comprising a then total of 18 partner agencies Reuters president Michael Friedenberg said he was delighted that TASS and Reuters are building upon our valued partnership 61 Two years later TASS s membership in Reuters Connect came under scrutiny in the wake of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine Politico reported that Reuters staff members were frustrated and embarrassed that their agency had not suspended its partnership with TASS 62 On 23 March 2022 Reuters removed TASS from its content marketplace Matthew Keen interim CEO of Reuters said we believe making TASS content available on Reuters Connect is not aligned with the Thomson Reuters Trust Principles 63 See also Edit Journalism portal United Kingdom portalInterbank market competitor List of news agencies Media of the United KingdomRelated to Reuters Edit
