My recap of our first EOTO where groups of 2 students had either a historical person related to a newspaper in relation tojournalism or the history of a newspaper company.
The presentation that stood out to me was about Reuters and AP. Reuters has been a worldwide trusted news source since 1851. AP, founded in 1846, is one of the most respected sources of news in the United States.
Reuters News
Paul Reuters founded Reuters in 1851 in London. As the paper grew and continued to expand its audience, they decided in 1940 to have a set of principles for the paper to adhere to:
- It cannot be operated by a single person or a group
- Share independent freedom
- Inbias accurate news
- Media of the general public
Their values consisted of
- Reporting news in a timely manner
- Public interest
- How far
- Prioritizing fact, not opinion
As Reuters company grew over time, it became publicly traded on the stock market in 1980. Currently, Reuters has 105 million monthly readers
Associated Press
Associated Press News, also known as AP News, was founded on May 22, 1846. It was founded by Moses Yale Beach.Significant improvements the Ap has made over the years that led it to become a primarily renowned news source today were:
- 1935 birth of photojournalism
- 1941 began distributing news to radio
- 1974 made its radio network
They currently have 118.4 million users and won 59 Pulitzer prizes. Their mission statement is “ to gather with economy and efficiency an accurate and impartial resort of the news.” This mission statement is the beliefs and standards of many credible sources that are here to report on the news and not give their biased opinions
