ANNIVERSARIES IN MAY
● 1878: Baron de Reuter retires due to ill health
Baron de Reuter, founder of Reuters, retired as managing director “in consequence of failing health” at the age of 61 in May 1878. He was succeeded by his son, Herbert, 26, born in London in 1852.
● 1900: Reuters scoops the world on the relief of Mafeking
A laconic message from Pretoria on 18 May 1900 drives London wild. Mafeking, remote British colonial outpost in South Africa besieged by Boers for seven months, had been relieved, and a new verb entered the English language: ‘to maffick’ defined as ‘to celebrate extravagantly’.
● 1953: Reuters scoop on the conquest of Mount Everest
On 29 May 1953, Reuters had the only correspondent on the mountain independent of the expedition to be the first to reach the top of Everest. Exclusive interviews with the victorious climbers and expedition leader attracted world-wide newspaper and radio play.
