Reuters problems keep piling up

Following my previous post about that dodgy photo of Beirut, Reuters finds itself in the news again.

According to Wikinews, Reuters has retracted the "doctored" photo and apologised.

The same article in Wikinews also notes that an employee sent a hate mail from a computer connected to the Reuters network but I think that was in May this year.

There must be some kind of law of multiplication that governs bad news because it sure has gone bad for Reuters in recent times.

I guess if you are in the business of informing with integrity then you pretty much better have your own integrity sorted before you start.
