Reuters is a British-based international wire news agency, one of the two largest in the world (with AP). Its output is syndicated globally and sets the factual baseline for hundreds of outlets. Reuters's core reporting is factually reliable. However, it has been criticized — including by its own journalists — for specific patterns in Israel/Palestine coverage: e.g., referring to Hamas as 'militants' rather than a designated terrorist organization, and delaying attributions of terrorist motive pending official confirmation.
**FlyDubai FZ1073 coverage:** Reuters initially described the incident using 'pilots' struggle' language, then updated to identify the co-pilot as an Omani national and report the stabbing. Israeli officials specifically told Reuters the co-pilot was Omani — Reuters published this. Reuters's coverage improved over time and was more substantive than BBC/Guardian/Sky News, but early wire dispatches used the same neutral/'struggle' framing that downstream outlets picked up.
