Reuters re-structuring multimedia division

Reuters is restructuring its multimedia division.  Under Chris Cramer, who was appointed to the role of global editor for multimedia last year, there will now be five editorial departments; television, pictures, Reuters financial video service, online and agency.  As yet un-appointed new roles created for online global editor and agency global editor, whilst senior editors will head each of the divisions.

Cramer said in the press release "These newly created positions and operating structure are critical to the development of new projects that merge our expertise with the latest technology".  The move to restructure the multimedia division reflects the growing importance of multimedia and multi-platform reporting in the media industry.
