PAUL REUTER

Paul Julius Reuter was a German newsman. He was born in 1816 at Kassel and died in 1899. In 1849 he established at Aix-la-Chapelle an office from which he supplied newspapers to all parts of the world. In 1851 he became a naturalized Englishman and established at the London Royal Exchange the Reuter's news agency, which wasn't successful until adopted by the Times in 1858. In 1865 Reuters was converted into a limited liability company.
