Reuters to go personal

FT.com / Business / UK - Reuters to go personal

Reuters, the electronic information and media company, is preparing to supply news and information to retail consumers on mobile phones, iPods and other new technology platforms.

The company has traditionally sold its news services - including news, photographs and broadcast footage - to other news and media organisations. Tom Glocer, chief executive, wants to exploit the amount of news information it has to offer personalised news services directly to consumers.
