Stick to standards

Stephen Adler’s need to again spell out the Reuters standards [Stephen Adler spells it out: stick to Reuters standards] demonstrates he is not getting the message across, much to the embarrassment of the organisation and to the world at large. Long proud of our heritage, Adler and his new team of award-winning journalists, in a few short months, has done much to unravel an image of fairness in our reporting and one where honesty and integrity were beyond reproach. While he says “stick to the editorial standards,” his actions and those of his hand-picked editors show there is utter confusion among the staff on what the message is and where TR is headed. ■
