Here is one reply I received.
REUTERS POLICY REGARDING EDITORIAL POLICY
The loss of life and destruction in New York, Washington D.C. and Pennsylvania two weeks ago has affected Reuters and its employees deeply. Six of our own staff are missing, in addition to many colleagues and friends.
Throughout this difficult time we have strictly adhered to our 150-year-old tradition of factual, unbiased reporting and upheld our long-standing policy against the use of emotive terms, including the words 'terrorist' or 'freedom fighter'. We do not characterize the subjects of news stories but instead report their actions, identity and background.
As a global news organization, the world relies on our journalists to provide accurate accounts of events as they occur, wherever they occur, so that individuals, organizations and governments can make their own decisions based on the facts.
The integrity of those accounts -- and the safety of our journalists in hotspots around the world who provide them -- depend on our adherence to these long-held principles.
