On Tuesday, Reuters announced that Tim Faircliff, previously the general manager of the Telegraph.co.uk website, had come on board as General Manager of its UK news and business information consumer products - just a few days after the news organization named MSNBC.com editor-in-chief David Wright to a role in the same organization.
Faircliff will be responsible for product and site development, as well as marketing and sales efforts for Reuters’ attempt to attract consumers directly to its content - news and information. Will the company’s partners catch wind (which they surely have already) of this plan and lessen the volume of Reuters news and information that they are currently utilizing, as they appear to be just the “middleman” for the company at this time? Or is the sandbox big enough for everyone to play nicely in?
