Commenting on the new position, David Craig, CEO of Refinitiv, said: “At a time of global trade wars and critical elections shaped by intense political discourse, trusted news is more important to the financial community than ever before.

“Market participants need instant access to high quality news they can trust from a variety of sources so they can stay ahead of complex, fast-moving and globally connected markets. Richard’s incredible experience as a journalist and editor will help us to further enrich our news service for customers."

“As the regulations governing news distribution shift in different countries, Richard will play a key role in our governance around news distribution so we can most effectively balance the needs of our customers, our commitment to trusted news and the regulatory requirements we operate under.”
