deuces wild Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 "Our content platform is burning," wrote David Schlesinger in a memo intended for 10 senior managers, but was read by thousands of employees in the company's daily briefing. "Our news is perceived as not having enough insight; our data is perceived as having terrible quality problems. Both news and data are not nearly the differentiating factors in Reuters' offering that they should be, that they could be, that they need to be."The memo continued to say the group had a "web of inefficient and duplicative technology."After its initial distribution April 6, Schlesinger sent out a follow-up, stating, "Due to a misunderstanding, a note I wrote intended to stimulate discussion among a small group of colleagues was published for a short while on Daily Briefing.""We're angry and perplexed," one Reuters staffer told the New York Post. "We're in the midst of contract negotiations, why would [schlesinger] want to be telling the troops at this delicate time that they're all doing a crappy job?"The last pay increase at Reuters was in February 2002, and the Newspaper Guild has been working without a contract at Reuters since February 2003.http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article....RTICLE_ID=43780They want to be considered a credible news source? :unsure: And what a fantastic way to treat their employees.....no pay increase for 3 years. :blink: An interesting tidbit:The news agency reportedly prohibits reporters from using the word "terrorists" in their reports.Can you spell "political agenda"? :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
