If it had held on to them, the agency would have been sitting on a huge pile of capital when Reuters went public in 1983. That money would have come in handy to modernise and internationalise PTI.<br /><br />Apathy is added to by a persistent mindset that "Western" news agencies are spreading disinformation about India. Added to this is a wilful refusal to use expertise. I have been back in India for eight years. I was the first Asian (indeed the first Indian) to be the Editor for Reuters Asia (2000-2006) and worked for Reuters for 23 years. I was also briefly (2006-07) on the board of PTI when I was editor-in-chief of the Hindustan Times. But perish the thought of talking to the only Indian who has worked for so long with Reuters, worked in several countries and possesses invaluable experience and international standards!Chaitanya Kalbaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00666859825764025301noreply@blogger.com
