Our news delivery channels have changed a bit over the last couple centuries. In 1851, Paul Julius Reuter, a German born immigrant, arrived in London from Aachen where he had been running a news and stock price information service using a combination of technology including telegraph cables and a fleet of carrier pigeons that grows to exceed 200. This helped Reuter establish an enviable reputation for speed, accuracy, integrity & impartiality. Reuter opened an office with the help of an 11 year-old office boy at 1 Royal Exchange Building in London's financial centre and located close to the main telegraph offices. He transmited stock market quotations and news between London and Paris over the new Dover-Calais submarine telegraph cable, using his “telegraph expertise.” Reuters is now part of Thompson Reuters, listed as "Reuters" above (in the USA section because of Thompson Reuters' headquarters in New York City).
