Michael Friedenberg, president of Reuters, wrote to employees to share that 
Galloni, previously global managing editor at Reuters, will oversee all 
editorial functions for the newsroom and its 2500 journalists in 200 locations 
around the world. She will become the first female editor-in-chief in Reuters 
170-year history. 
 
Galloni's appointment comes after an extensive global search and follows the 
announcement that Stephen J. Adler, who has served as editor-in-chief of 
Reuters for a decade, will be retiring at the end of April. She will sit on 
Reuters executive committee and be based in London. 
 
As global managing editor, Galloni has overseen news planning and creation for 
Reuters newsroom since 2015. She joined Reuters in 2013 as editor of the 
Southern Europe bureau following 13 years at the Wall Street Journal. Galloni 
is the recipient of the 2020 Minard Editor Award from the Gerald Loeb 
Foundation, as well as the winner of an Overseas Press Club Award and a UK 
Business Journalist of the Year Award. 
 
"Alessandra is a transformative and inspirational leader with outstanding 
journalistic credentials, a truly global perspective and a compelling vision 
for the future of news," said Friedenberg. "She was the standout candidate in 
an extensive, global search and highly competitive recruitment process, which 
featured many impressive internal and external candidates. Alessandra has 
driven innovation, speed and quality throughout our newsgathering operation 
since becoming global managing editor. 
 
I would like to take the opportunity to thank Steve Adler once again for his 
extraordinary contribution to Reuters over the past ten years. Alessandra 
shares his passion for independent journalism and will continue to champion 
Reuters - and our Trust Principles - around the world. I am delighted that she 
will lead our newsroom into an exciting, new era." 
 
"I am thrilled to become editor-in-chief of Reuters," said Galloni. "For 170 
years, Reuters has set the standard for independent, trusted and global 
reporting. It is an honor to lead a world-class newsroom full of talented, 
dedicated and inspiring journalists. I am so grateful to Steve for his 
mentorship and for putting a visionary, enduring stamp on Reuters, and to 
Michael for his leadership and for this opportunity." 
 
Steve Hasker, Thomson Reuters president and CEO, said: "At a time when the 
world sorely needs independent, unbiased journalism, we take seriously the need 
to push boundaries for all of our customers. Alessandra will do just that. Her 
skills, talent and expertise are ideal for this moment in the story of the 
world's leading newsroom. I have no doubt Reuters will achieve great things 
under her editorship - and I join many others in thanking Steve Adler for his 
outstanding service to public service journalism and to Thomson Reuters."
