Galloni, 47, a native of Rome, will replace Stephen Adler, who is retiring this month after heading the newsroom for the past decade. Under his leadership, Reuters has received hundreds of journalism awards, including seven Pulitzer Prizes.
Alexandra Galloni speaks four languages and has extensive experience in reporting on business and political news at Reuters and earlier in the Wall Street Journal.
Galloni takes the helm as the news agency faces a series of challenges. Some of them are common to all the news. Others are specific to the complexity of the organization.
With a worldwide staff of about 2,450 journalists, Reuters serves a variety of customers.
