Reuters editor-in-chief Stephen Adler, who has led the news organization for the past decade, is retiring, Reuters has announced. “It has been an honor, and certainly the highlight of my career, to lead this extraordinary news organization,” Adler said in a memo to Reuters staff. “I am as sad to be leaving as I am proud of the consequential work we have done together.” With Adler at the helm, Reuters reporters and photographers won seven Pulitzer prizes, including the 2020 prize in Breaking News Photography, for coverage of pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong. Looking ahead, Adler said in the memo that he is “greatly looking forward to writing, teaching, advocating for press freedom and media literacy, and finding my way toward unexpected new challenges.”
