"Independence of Thomson Reuters
Customers across the world depend on us to provide them with reliable and objective news and information.
This means that we have a special need to safeguard our independence and integrity and avoid any bias which may stem from control by specific individuals or interests.
The Thomson Reuters Trust Principles were adopted in 1941 and include the preservation of integrity, reliability of news, development of the news business, and related principles.
Today, the Trust Principles are fundamental to our entire business."
Unlike the BBC, Reuters sticks to their Charter...
"Trust Principles – the history
The Trust Principles were created in 1941, in the midst of World War II, in agreement with The Newspaper Proprietors Association Limited and The Press Association Limited (being the Reuters shareholders at that time). The Trust Principles imposed obligations on Reuters and its employees to act at all times with integrity, independence, and freedom from bias.
Reuters Directors and shareholders were determined to protect and preserve the Trust Principles established in 1941 when Reuters became a publicly traded company on the London Stock Exchange and Nasdaq. A unique structure was put in place to achieve this. A new company was formed and given the name 'Reuters Founders Share Company Limited', its purpose being to hold a 'Founders Share' in Reuters."
