Paul Julius Reuter, the founder of Reuters, set up a carrier pigeon service around 1850. When he moved to the UK, in 1851, he opened a telegraph office near the London Stock Exchange. Initially, his services were confined to commercial information. But soon, more and more newspapers began to subscribe to his service, and Reuter diversified into other services. The major breakthrough came in 1859, when he sent a dispatch for shadowing a war in Italy. Since then there is no looking back, and Reuter is now regarded as one of the most reliable and most reputed global news agencies in the world.Reuters Economic service is the largest international Commerce and Business news service.
