Leading through Change
September 23, 2010

In the 19th century, Baron de Reuter sent carrier pigeons with scrolls bearing the latest news and 
stock quotes to remote destinations in Europe, a canny strategy for beating the horseback-based

has been determined to deploy the latest technology in the service of information-hungry customers.

"I submit to you, journalism is alive and well. It’s morphing into electronic media. I don’t think
