Another example of good off the news reporting from the wires

When the front page of www.iht.com can't be filled by NYT/IHT correspondents, and has to rely on the wires, even for ahead of the news curve, off the news, stories, you know you have a problem.

Don't you?

And you need to re-tool how you allocate foreign correspondents?

Example from today (and again, I could quote examples for nearly any day of the year) this front page iht.com story, from the NYT?

No, from Reuters.......once more.

(It used to be, I think, that any Reuters story was cleary sourced as such in the online url link but not on this one. Is anyone trying to hide something here?)

And today also, ANOTHER iht.com front page story, also from Reuters, indexed on iht.com not as a Reuters story, not even a medical story, but a business story?
