Reuters

 Reuters News Agency 

Reuters News Agency was founded in 1851 by a German born man named Paul Julius Reuter who founded a news agency in London with the intent of revolutionizing communication and news. Reuters began with the simple idea of bridging the gaps between European cities with carrier pigeons, delivering stock market prices faster than conventional transportation at the time. This commitment to speed would lay the foundation for one of the world's most trusted news organizations.

Reuters quickly evolved from carrier pigeons to the telegraph establishing itself as a primer source for financial and general news across Europe. The agency's breakthrough came through strategic partnerships with major news organizations; this created the first wire service model that distributed news stories to multiple outlets simultaneously. This innovation proved transformative, instead of the newspaper sending reporters to cover distant events they could subscribe to Reuters to get international news. By 1900 Reuters had correspondents stationed world wide from the battlefields of Crimea to the trading floors of Wall Street.

The agency's reputation was built on a fundamental principle that remains the organization's cornerstone today: Impartiality. Unlike other newspapers with political leanings, or government controlled media Reuters committed to reporting facts without bias the objectivity standard made Reuters valuable across the political spectrum and it established credibility that had transcended borders and ideologies. During both world wars Reuters provided crucial information that informed the public about unfolding events even as governments tried to control the flow of information. 

The 20th Century brought technological revolutions that Reuters consistently embraced. The agency pioneered the use of teleprinters, computers, and eventually digital networks to accelerate news delivery. In 1973 Reuters Launched Monitor, one of the first computerized financial data services, demonstrating its dual strength in financial and information data services. This show of diverse capability proved financially crucial, allowing Reuters to invest heavily in news gathering even as traditional media faced many challenges during his time.

Today Reuters remains extremely relevant through its media landscape. As misinformation spreads across social media and partisan outlets dominate cable news, Reuters commitments to factual unbiased news remains still today. The agency now operates in over 200 locations worldwide, employing thousands of journalists who adhere to strict editorial standards. Reuters stories now appear on newspapers websites and many online news sites, and it broadcasts globally often serving as the primary source for international news.

Reuters financial news division has come a long way since 1851 Paul Reuters' great great grandson Thomas Reuter is now responsible for this division of the agency. This department provides real time market data to traders and investors worldwide. Major news organizations rely on Reuters to receive accurate information, like the New York Times for example all the way to regional newspapers. This is however only the case when these papers cannot get the information independently. 

Reuters enduring relevance stems from its unwavering dedication to the principles of Paul Reuter Established in 1851 and it has continued to stand by these principles and stick to its values of unbiased and factual news. The way Reuters carries itself today it plans on continuing and upholding its values.

A Boy Who Would grow to do Great Things 

Throughout life people will always tell you that you cannot do it. you should go the easy route. 

They will try to discourage you by saying things will get too hard, or only a select few achieve that.

I grew up in not just a military household, but a Marine household. My father was a Liutenant Colonel in the United States Marine Corps, he flew CH-46 helicopters in almost every major conflict of the GWOT. from The First Gulf War, Iraq, Kuwait, boznia ,Afghanistan 2 times, and so on.

Growing up at an early age I always was exposed to excellence and have always strived for it. I was always inspired to help people who were not always able to help themselves. Most importantly I wanted everyone who said I couldnt do it to see my success. I wanted my cousins and family who are also aspiring to be great to see their cousin as an inspiration. Something that tewlls them they can do it. 

Ever since I was 7 years old I knew what I wanted and I had people in my life that would guide me and support me to getting to my goal. I decided that I wanted to become a United States Marine. Not just a Marine however, I wanted to become a Marine Aviator. I understood that this road I had set my mind on would be a very hard one to achieve, and not everyone can become a Marine, especially a pilot in the Marines. However I wnted it and I was willing to make it happen. 

When I got to High Point Univercity as a freshman I finally took action to achieve my dream. I joined the Marine Corps and after a 10 week course at Officer Candidate School in Quantico Virginia, I had earned those golden 2nd Lieutenant Bars and had earned my place as a Marine Officer. I had also achieved an aviation contract.

I looked up to my father and still do today mainly because of his acompolishments and the hard work he had put in in his life to get him where he is today. That admiration, respect, and his teachings and lessons he showed and gave me has allowed me to learn so much from them. The discipline they instilled and the love that my parents had for me have shaped me into the man I am now. 

This dreamwould follow me from my home city of  Kernersville North Carolina to Portland Oregon. This is where I joined an organization called Word is Bond. There I worked as an Organizational ambassador. 

I ran mission trips to Ghana Africa as I gained seniority through working in the organization.

I was incharge of a 12 man crew that went into Ghana to provide aid to local villages, meet with senators and congressmen to discuss potential partnerships. Now I am awaiting my life's next chapter
