Claim
Number of employees 25,000
Correction

Reuters does not have 25,000 employees; Thomson Reuters reported Reuters itself had about 3,700 employees in 2025.

Full reasoning

This employee figure appears to confuse Reuters with its much larger parent company. Thomson Reuters' 2025 annual report breaks out headcount by business unit and lists Reuters: 3,700 employees, while total Thomson Reuters: 27,100 employees. Reuters also publicly describes its newsroom as having about 2,500 journalists in roughly 200 locations. So an infobox figure of 25,000 for Reuters is far too high and does not match Reuters' own reported headcount.

Claim
In December 2024, Reuters was ranked as the 27th most visited news site in the world, with over 105 million monthly readers.
Correction

The cited traffic ranking is for English-language news sites and measures visits, not 'readers' across all news sites worldwide.

Full reasoning

This sentence overstates what the traffic source reports. Press Gazette's ranking is explicitly a list of the top 50 English-language news websites in the world, not all news sites in every language. It also reports visits, not unique monthly 'readers.' In its December 2024 section, the same source says Reuters had 104.9 million visits that month. So the sentence misdescribes both the scope of the ranking and the audience metric.
