Journalists' families

Many of us who have been responsible for staff, and I expect many current members of staff, would like to know what the company did for the family of Ibrahim Jassam during his detention [US military frees Reuters photographer in Iraq after 17 months], and what it is doing for the families of those two poor murdered men [Video released showing US Army’s killing of Reuters news staff]. David Schlesinger's op-ed in The Guardian [David Schlesinger: What I want from the Pentagon] had much more of the robust tone one would expect from an organisation of the stature of Thomson Reuters. Will the company now also be pressing for compensation for the families? ■
