The point is that Reuters issued this rule in 2015. It's nothing new. And might have changed since then.

Okay.
I misunderstood the post to which I replied.

I think they should demand the raw file only.
Bummer for cameras that don't provide RAW files.

Not really. If you want to get pay you have to have the right camera.

I'll bet it was a legal reason, someone took a raw pic, did major editing and it came back to bite them in the butt.

Hoax or incredible stupidity? Or fear of virus embedding (which can also be done with jpgs)?

I believe that translates as "We don't want to pay photo editors or have people accuse us of manipulating photos (like has happened more than a little to various news agencies). So if the EXIF shows it was an original in camera JPEG* we avoid a lot of that."
*Actually "there ain't no such thing", when you set it to JPEG the camera takes the RAW and converts/edits it to JPEG then dumps most of the leftover RAW data while saving only the JPEG conversion. All digital images are captured in RAW by the camera!

I am pretty much at the basic level as far as processing but if Reuter's receives the image as a jpeg how do they know if it was originally raw or jpeg? When I send a resized, Lightroom C processed raw image it goes as a jpeg.

All you have to do is examine the metadata in the EXIF table...

Thank you, that completely slipped my mind.

I agree with your interpretation (supported by David Martin's post). The issue is not RAW but how the JPEG is created. RAW processed to JPEG in the camera is OK, RAW processed to JEPG in an external editor is not OK.
Makes sense to me. Creating the JPEG with an editing program offers too much of an opportunity for manipulating the image compared to "straight-out-of-the-camera".

You can do a lot of manipulation of JPEGs in the camera - more than would be allowed for photojournalism.

It's simple. If you submit images to Reuters or any othere news agency or publication you have to conform to their requirements. It is not a RAW vs. Jpeg argument. They want files that are compatible with their printing and transmission methods and those of their subscribers. They do not want to post-process or convert your submissions. It is not a "movement" or anti-RAW cult or an attempt to influence photograher who are shooting for their purposes, art, or enjoyment of any particular method.
