OPEC withholds media access to Reuters, Bloomberg, WSJ for July event
OPEC+ pumps more than 40% of the world's oil supply. OPEC declined to comment on why reporters from the three media organizations were not invited to cover the OPEC-hosted July 5-6 seminar in Vienna. "We believe that transparency and a free press serve both readers, markets and the public interest, and we object to this restriction on coverage," a spokesperson for Reuters, the news and media division of Thomson Reuters Corp, said on Wednesday.
