UK: PROFILE - PETER JOB, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF REUTERS.

Reuters' chief executive has escaped the kind of publicity the organisation subjects others to. Hashi Syedain supplies some data for its Textline service.

Enter the name Peter Job into the Reuters Textline database and you will come up with a string of articles full of, frankly, peripheral references. It's one of those delightful little ironies that the chief executive of the world's largest electronic information company has never himself been fully 'written up' - and that, as a result, Reuters Textline, one of the world's largest on-line databases of past press articles, contains next to no information about the chief executive of the company which owns it.
