Reuters is trusted to be fast, accurate and fair but still has a way to go to be the dominant news organisation worldwide, editor-in-chief Stephen Adler told former staff members. Those at the top of Thomson Reuters want to own the world’s best news organisation and they want to invest in it, he said at a special meeting of The Reuter Society.

It is in the Trust Principles that Reuters is supposed to be the world’s best news organisation, and in the present environment, with other businesses weakening and with Reuters’ journalistic organisation strengthening, it is uniquely placed to be really powerful and really strong, Adler said. ■
