  Paul Julius, Baron De Reuter - LoveToKnow 1911
PAUL JULIUS REUTER, BARON DE (1821-1899), founder of Reuter's News Agency, was born at Cassel, Germany.
Reuter's mind was thus directed to the value of the speedy transmission of information, and in 1849, on the completion of the first telegraph lines in Germany and France, he found an opportunity of turning his ideas to account.
Reuter was in 1871 given the title of baron by the duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, and by a special grant of Queen Victoria he and his heirs were authorized to have the privileges of this rank in England.

 Think-Israel
In 1940, there was even a Hollywood film about Paul Julius Reuter, the German-Jewish immigrant to London who as early as 1851 began transmitting stock-market quotes between London and Paris via the new Calais-Dover cable.
For example, Reuters will note that "a doctor at the hospital said the injured Palestinian was unarmed" - when in fact the doctor couldn't possibly have known this, since he wasn't present at the gunfight.
Reuters no longer carries the highly misleading "death tolls" at the end of each story that lumped together Palestinian civilians, gunmen, and suicide bombers.

 Context April/May 2001 Issue -- Feature: Revival of the Fittest
Reuter was an early adopter of the new telegraphy technology, so the obvious patch was to string his own telegraph line, at great expense.
The seeds for Paul Julius Reuter’s business were sown when the young German attended lectures in the 1830s about groundbreaking research into sending electric signals by wire, according to Donald Read, a professor of history at the University of Kent.
The telegraph cable was so important to Reuter that he commissioned an 1869 portrait of himself with his hand on a globe showing the path of a transatlantic cable he helped bankroll; the portrait still hangs in Reuters’s headquarters on Fleet Street in London.

 Tom Gross on Reuters
It is ironic, incidentally, that the Jewish state should bear the brunt of Reuters’ bias, given that the original founder of the agency, Paul Julius Reuter, was the son of a rabbi.
Reuters and Associated Press copy is simply inserted into many correspondents’ reports – even in papers such as the New York Times and Washington Post – without, it often seems, so much as a second thought given to its accuracy.
Reuters stories also go through a scrupulous editing process, both locally and on our central editing desk in London, to ensure that they are balanced and that no phrase could be misconstrued.

 The Case of Reuters
Reuters and Associated Press copy is simply inserted into many correspondents' reports -- even in papers such as The New York Times and Washington Post -- without, it often seems, so much as a second thought given to its accuracy.
In a one-month study last year, the media watchdog HonestReporting found that in "100 percent of headlines" when Reuters wrote about Israeli acts of violence, Israel was emphasized as the first word; also, an active voice was used, often without explaining that the "victim" may have been a gunman.
For example, Reuters will note that "a doctor at the hospital said the injured Palestinian was unarmed" -- when in fact the doctor couldn't possibly have known this, since he wasn't present at the gunfight.
