Alessandra Galloni has been appointed editor-in-chief of Reuters to replace Steve Adler, who retires at the end of April, Reuters president Michael Friedenberg said in a statement.
Galloni, previously global managing editor at Reuters, will oversee 2,500 journalists in 200 locations around the world.
Before joining Reuters in 2013 as editor of the Southern Europe bureau, Galloni spent 13 years at the Wall Street Journal as a correspondent, economics and business writer and editor in New York, London, Paris and Rome.
She is a co-author of an e-book on Pope Francis entitled “From the End of the Earth to Rome”.
Galloni is a recipient of various journalism awards, including the 2020 Minard Editor Award from the Gerald Loeb Foundation, an Overseas Press Club Award in the United States, and a Business Journalist of the Year Award, a global accolade conferred in the United Kingdom.
Galloni will be the first female editor-in-chief in the history of Reuters, which turns 170 this October.
