Christopher Chancellor
Sir Christopher (John Howard) Chancellor (29 March 1904 – 9 September 1989), a British journalist and administrator, was general manager of the news agency Reuters from 1944 to 1959. ''The Daily Telegraph'' credited him for keeping the company running under extremely difficult wartime circumstances, noting that "It was largely thanks to Chancellor that Reuters had survived the war intact, despite the loss for several years of the greatest part of its world market."〔via Associated Press. ("Christopher Chancellor, Who Led Reuters for 15 Years, Dies at 85" ), ''The New York Times'', 12 September 1989. Accessed 12 January 2008.〕 By 1951, at the firm's 100th anniversary, Chancellor was credited with tripling the agency's correspondents and revenues.〔("100 for Reuters" ), ''Time'', 23 July 1951.
