Reuters’ deputy news editor for Europe, Middle East and Africa, Mark Trevelyan, has been appointed security correspondent for the same area, based at its Berlin office.
The news organisation is also in the process of recruiting for an equivalent post in the US, based in Washington.
Chief news editor Anthony Williams said the positions were created to give greater weight to security issues. “We increasingly have specialists, not just in financial areas but in general news.
