Reuters was established in 1851 by Paul Julius Reuter in London. The company initially transmitted stock market quotations and news via carrier pigeons between London and Paris. In 1865, Reuters expanded into the far east, followed by South America in 1872. In 1923, Reuters began using radio to transmit news internationally.

Ownership[edit | edit source]
Since 2008, Reuters has been a part of the Thomson Reuters Corporation, a Canadian multinational mass media and information firm.
Criticism and controversy[edit | edit source]
Reuters has been accused of bias in its reporting of issues such as the Israel-Palestine conflict, the Iran nuclear deal, and the Hong Kong protests. The agency has defended its coverage, stating that it adheres to a policy of neutrality and does not take sides in conflicts.
