"In 1851 Julius Reuter moved from Berlin to London where he and his staff of one office boy set up the telegraph office that was to evolve into one of the most powerful news agencies in the world. For over a century, Reuters, as it came to be named, was the news agency of the British Empire, committed to providing 'truth in news' and doing so quickly, two standards of reporting that it maintains to this very day. And for over 150 years, Reuters has been a part the great revolution in world communications, from the days of overland and undersea telegraphs, to modern computer links and satellites. In The Power of News, Donald Read presents the history of this communications giant, from its beginnings in 1851 to the company's decision to go public in 1984. Read shows how the completion of the world's first translatlantic cable in July 1866 launched Reuters into a new era of cable communication, bringing news to the world more quickly than ever. News of Lincoln's election as President in 1861 had taken eight days to reach London, while news of Grant's 1869 victory took only one day. Read also reveals how Reuters profited greatly for its wartime reports, from the Austro-Prussian War in 1866, to the Franco-Prussian War in 1870, to the momentous 1914 telegram ('Sarajevo Ferdinand Deste assassine') at the start of World War I. Read also traces the agency's post-World War II days under the leadership of Christopher Chancellor, who transformed the agency into an international organization that sold its services in many languages across the world, from Argentina, to Africa, to Japan. He delves into Reuters' profitable business of supplying economic information--its delivery of stock market and commodity prices and the successful Reuter Monitor Money Rates service launched in 1973. And he shows how this financial success was important to Reuters' independence and objectivity of reporting. (During wartime, and throughout its history, Reuters' subsidization by the British Government had drawn criticism that the agency was 'partial to things British'). And for the first time, Read presents the story behind the controversial decision to float the agency as a public company in 1984. The first to report the building of the Berlin Wall in 1961, and the first to report its fall in 1989, Reuters has remained at the forefront of worldwide communications. Revealing the failures as well as the successes, The Power of News tells the fascinating story of the company that has been bringing us history in the making for over a hundred fifty years. / Donald Read is Professor Emeritus of Modern English History, University of Kent." - Publisher.

[EAN: 9780198204596], Used, very good, [SC: 2.8], [PU: Oxford University Press, United Kingdom, Oxford], DONALD READ THE POWER OF NEWS HISTORY REUTERS 1849 1989, This is the story of Reuters, the international news agency. In 1851 Julius Reuter set up the London organization which was eventually to extend throughout most of the world. The Power of News is a fascinating account of the company which for over 140 years has brough us history as it is being made. For a century Reuters was especially the news agency of the British Empire. As Britain's imperial power faded, Reuters moved into selling economic information to the world trading community, a venture that generated annual pre-tax profits of $L280 million by the end of the 1980s. Equally lucrative was the flotation of Reuters as a public company in 1984, the full story of which is told here for the first time. Throughout all these exciting changes Reuters has tried to remain committed to 'truth in news' a commitment watched over by the Reuter Trust, created in 1941. 'The remarkable history of an institution and its visionary founder' , Financial Times 'a fascinating account' , Sunday Telegraph 'Reuters was to news what Rolls-Royce is to cars and Lords is to cricket .the biggest story to come out of Reuters is its own' , Daily Mail 'a fascinating, solidly-researched, and well written book' , Scotsman 'The first thing that must strike anyone opening this well-produced book . .is the wonderful harvest of illustrations' , London Review of Books This book is intended for historians of the 19th and 20th centuries; historians of technology and communications; readers with an interest in news, business, and finance.
