Tips for running a successful news agency
Wednesday 12 January 2011
David Schlesinger's ● Tips for running a successful news agency are a really good leadership philosophy. I've worked for 11 CEOs in the three companies where I was head of PR, and only the very best where able to articulate how they saw their jobs. This makes me want to know more, under each heading. How, for example, would David outline the standards and ethics he sees as vital?

Killed correspondents
Monday 10 January 2011
To the names read out during the service in St Bride's [● Reuters people most numerous in roll of slain journalists] should be added correspondent ● Najmul Hasan (Indian) killed by a landmine in Iran and photographer ● Willie Vicoy (Philippino) killed in a militia attack in the Philippines. Let us not forget them. Let us also never forget that no story is worth the loss of a life. The loss of a journalist's life is not a sacrifice in any sense. It is a waste and is in no manner the slightest cause for celebration. To have lost more journalists than any other organisation is not glorious. It is rather a matter of shame and sadness.
