From today, an Italian journalist will lead the prestigious British news agency Reuters: it is Alessandra Galloni.
It is the first time in the 170-year history of the prestigious newspaper.
Galloni, 47, born in Rome, will replace Stephen J. Adler, who will retire this month after leading the editorial team for the past decade.
Adler leaves the agency after winning hundreds of journalism awards, including seven Pulitzer Prizes. Galloni, who speaks 7 languages, has been with Reuters since 2013, - as stated on the agency's website - after having worked for 13 years at the Wall Street Journal, specializing in economics and finance and working as a correspondent from London, Paris and Rome. The reporter takes the helm as the news agency faces a number of challenges. Some of these are common to all media. Others are specific to the complexity of the organization: with a worldwide staff of approximately 2,450 reporters, Reuters serves a diverse range of clients and is also a service unit in a much broader news business.
