What makes Reuters unique?

My immediate reaction on perusing the latest example of management-ese from editor-in-chief Stephen Adler was to see writ large such famous headlines as more “Mush from the Wimp,” or “Wall St. Lays an Egg.”

I at first tried to translate into tangible language what these jargonesque platitudes could mean but quickly realised this was definitely a fool’s errand, like trying to grab jelly in a toilet bowl full of water.

Suffice it to note that this elimination of regional editing in favour of globalisation, instead of reducing mid- to high-mid management cadres, entails recruiting seven new global roles. ■
