==The Trust Principles
Thomson Reuters is dedicated to upholding the Trust Principles and to preserving its independence, integrity, and freedom from bias in the gathering and dissemination of information and news==
As a newsgathering information source that we are sometimes forced to use, I saw something interesting when posting another article from Reuters, called the Trust Principles. The board is very big and will require some digging but I found it interesting their affiliation besides the UK was also to 3 other FVEYS countries.
Thoughts ANONS?
"The Trust Principles were created in 1941, in the midst of World War II, in agreement with The Newspaper Proprietors Association Limited and The Press Association Limited (being the Reuters shareholders at that time). The Trust Principles imposed obligations on Reuters and its employees to act at all times with integrity, independence, and freedom from bias.
Reuters Directors and shareholders were determined to protect and preserve the Trust Principles established in 1941 when Reuters became a publicly traded company on the London Stock Exchange and Nasdaq. A unique structure was put in place to achieve this. A new company was formed and given the name 'Reuters Founders Share Company Limited', its purpose being to hold a 'Founders Share' in Reuters."
The Trust Principles are
That Reuters shall at no time pass into the hands of any one interest, group, or faction;
That the integrity, independence, and freedom from bias of Thomson Reuters shall at all times be fully preserved;
That Reuters shall supply unbiased and reliable news services to newspapers, news agencies, broadcasters, and other media subscribers and to businesses, governments, institutions, individuals, and others with whom Reuters has or may have contracts;
That Thomson Reuters shall pay due regard to the many interests which it serves in addition to those of the media; and
5.That no effort shall be spared to expand, develop, and adapt the news and other services and products of Thomson Reuters so as to maintain its leading position in the international news and information business
EYE CATCHING INFO

Facebook broke Canada privacy laws, watchdog says
Canadian, Anons beware Facebook broke one of your Socialist laws! I'm so glad they don't do this in the USA.
Social media giant Facebook committed "serious contraventions" of Canadian privacy laws, the country's data watchdog says.
The federal privacy commissioner said the tech firm had also failed to take responsibility for protecting personal information.
An investigation into the company was launched in the wake of the Cambridge Analytica data scandal.
Facebook disputes the investigation's findings.
"The stark contradiction between Facebook's public promises to mend its ways on privacy and its refusal to address the serious problems we've identified - or even acknowledge that it broke the law - is extremely concerning," privacy commissioner Daniel Therrien said in a statement.
Mr Therrien said his office planned to go to court "to seek an order to force the company to correct its privacy practices".
His office can currently only issue recommendations and cannot impose fines for non-compliance.
Facebook said in a statement that it had engaged "in many months of good-faith co-operation and lengthy negotiations" with the commissioner's office and is disappointed that the matter is going to court instead of "continuing collaborative discussions".
