Reuters Names Alessandra Galloni as Editor-in-Chief, First Woman To Hold News Agency's Top Spot
By Marisa Sarnoff Apr 12th, 2021, 8:18 pm
Reuters News announced Monday that Alessandra Galloni will take over as editor-in-chief of the worldwide news service, the first time a woman will hold the job in the company’s 170-year history.
The news comes as Stephen J. Adler, who has led the Reuters newsroom for a decade, will retire this month.
Galloni, who was born in Rome and speaks four languages, has most recently served as the global managing editor of Reuters, overseeing journalists in 200 locations worldwide, according to the Reuters report that detailed the announcement. Previously, she was at the Wall Street Journal for about 13 years, covering economics and business.
On Twitter, Adler expressed enthusiastic support for Galloni.
