Jan 6 (Reuters) - Stephen J. Adler, editor-in-chief of Reuters for the past decade, said he would retire from the world’s largest international news provider on April 1.
A search for his successor will begin over the next few days, Reuters President Michael Friedenberg said on Wednesday in a memo to Reuters staff.
During his tenure, Adler expanded the scope and ambition of Reuters’ news offerings, introducing innovations across multiple platforms to serve the news agency’s financial, media and professional clients.
The journalism he championed – impartial and courageous reporting both at speed and in-depth – won global plaudits and hundreds of journalism awards, including seven Pulitzer Prizes.
