How did "Reuters" get so popular and worldly?




Boycott Ho


I always hear "according to Reuters". Why?


Answer
Reuters was the first international news and stock exchange news service in the world, started by Baron Von Reuter in the late 1890's. Baron Von Reuter was a German who migrated to Britain and founded the Reuters News agency, first with 'carrier pigeons' transporting stock news and then general news stories. He constantly expanded upon the business until Reuters became the largest News and Stock Exchange /Financial News service in the world.

Reuters started a photographic service in 1982 and they took over VISNEWS, an international TV news syndication service, in the 1990's.

Answer
Hmm, there's not much to summarize, it's just lots of words with not really much of content. It's just about the most popular names, that the statistics of 2007 are not done yet and the the most popular names are not THAT often as people think, the most popular about 1 percent each. Besides that they mention that there still is a difference between the former two parts of Germany and that certain things like they hype of Berlin's icebear Knut or the name of pop singer Sarah Connor's child influenced this year's names a little bit.
