What was the fastest way to send information in the 1800s? Before you stands the Paul Julius Reuter Statue, a tribute to a man who revolutionized news delivery. This granite bust, sculpted by Michael Black, commemorates the 125th anniversary of the Reuters News Agency. Paul Julius Reuter, born Israel Beer Josaphat in 1816, was a true innovator. He recognized the power of speed in the world of news and finance. Initially, Reuter utilized carrier pigeons to quickly transmit stock information between Aachen and Brussels. This ingenious method, faster than the postal train, connected Berlin and Paris, giving Reuter an edge. He later embraced the telegraph, establishing his news agency in London near the Royal Exchange on October 14, 1851. The Paul Julius Reuter Statue stands as a testament to his dedication to “accuracy, rapidity, and reliability” in news delivery. His agency, now part of the Thomson Reuters conglomerate, continues to be a global leader in providing timely and accurate news.
