version , the original photograph , transmitted by reuters after the advisory did show plenty of smoke rising the city but it was thinner , and not so well defined into thick columns .
the one reuters journalists love to cite most was in 1865 when the company was first in europe with news of us president lincoln ' s assassination . advances in overland telegraphs and undersea cables allowed the news wire to expand into the far east in 1872 and south america in 1874 . in 1883 reuters started transmitting messages electrically to london newspapers and in 1923 it pioneered the use of radio to transmit news internationally .
this is the story of reuters , the international news agency . in 1851 julius reuter set up the london organization which was eventually to extend throughout most of the world . over a century later , reuters was first with the news of the erection of the berlin wall in 1961 , and then first with the story of its breaching in 1989 . this book is an account of the company which for almost 150 years has brought us history as it is being made . this book ' s history of reuters shows how the company has always been in the forefront of communications technology , from the days of pigeon post and the first transatlantic cables to the age of the satellite and computer link . for a century , reuters was especially the news agency of the british empire . as britain ' s imperial power faded , reuters moved into selling economic information to the world trading community , a venture that generated pre - tax profits of £280 million during the 1980s . equally lucrative was the flotation of reuters as a public company in 1984 . throughout all these exciting changes reuters has tried to remain committed to ‘truth in news’ , a commitment watched over by the reuter trust , created in 1941 . for this second edition , the book includes revised and completely rewritten text , using fresh research to open up in particular the imperial dimension of reuter history and highlighting to a greater extent the personalities who played important parts in the company ' s story .

this reuters photograph shows blatant evidence of manipulation . notice the repeating patterns in the smoke ; this is almost certainly caused by using the photoshop “clone” tool to add more smoke to the image .
expanding our canadian operations building on our heritage as one of canada’s leading international companies , thomson reuters announces a new technology centre in downtown toronto , ontario , which will create up to 1 , 500 jobs .
reuters takes such matters extremely seriously and it is strictly against company editorial policy to alter pictures ,
moira whittle said . in a news story about the picture , distributed by reuters , she also says ,
the photographer has denied deliberately attempting to manipulate the image , saying that he was trying to remove dust marks and that he made mistakes due to the bad lighting conditions he was working under .
sharma told reuters he is backed by a group of us and uk investors for the refinancing and that the funds in the account have come from them . both he and sahara declined to identify the investors .
in 2010 reuters was criticised again 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 . [ 26 ] 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 . [ 26 ]
reuters on monday rejected accusations of biased coverage , adding that it had reverted to the use of
the original set
of images , once the organization realized that the photographs it had published had been cropped .
in the 1960s reuters became one of the first news agencies to use computers to transmit financial data overseas , and in 1973 it began making computer - terminal displays of foreign - exchange rates available to clients . the agency subsequently afforded the capacity to make electronic transactions over its network ( 1981 ) and went on to develop a wide array of electronic trading and brokerage services . in 1984 reuters became a publicly listed company on the

political commentator tom gross told haaretz that
this isnt the first time reuters had been caught altering photos to make them less sympathetic to israel . they did so , for example , in the 2006 lebanon war .

some police struggle with what they see as contradictory messages from the company , reuters found in an examination of thousands of pages of sworn testimony and dozens of interviews : the weapons carry myriad risks , but remain fundamentally safe .
last month , guild members handed adler a letter with nearly 300 rank - and - file signatures asking him to step in and ensure that his staff secure a contract that recognises their contributions to reuters’ reputation and bottom line .
reuters will publish news from a single , anonymous source in exceptional cases , when it is credible information from a trusted source with direct knowledge of the situation . single - source stories are subject to a special authorisation procedure .
london / oslo , june 29 ( reuters ) - investors are slowly starting to push companies to reduce their carbon footprint and help the world meet targets on limiting global warming that were agreed in the 2015 paris climate talks .
note that once again we never learn who is in this apparently secret cult of skeptics , we just know “they say” anti - scientific things , while “others say” other anti - scientific things — and reuters obligingly quotes them anonymously .
david fogarty , former reuters climate change correspondent in asia , came forward on monday to describe the hostility he faced inside the organization toward any climate - related story . according to fogarty , “from very early in 2012 , i was repeatedly told that climate and environment stories were no longer a top priority for reuters and i was asked to look at other areas . being stubborn , and passionate about my climate change beat , i largely ignored the directive . ”
