Stephen Jukes was the first Journalist to report Margaret Thatcher's resignation in 1990 - A feat he puts down to his speed and accuracy.
Head of Bournemouth University's Media School, Stephen Jukes is an experienced journalist and reporter.
As an Oxford graduate in French and German, Stephen soon joined the internationally respected journalists at Reuters.
Stephen ended his journalistic career as Reuters' Head of Global News and says, to be a great reporter; one must be accurate and fast but keep an objective view.
He said: "The most important thing is to be able to put a story in context.
"Without context the reader would switch off."
Keeping these important points in mind throughout his career, Stephen has reported on some of the world's most memorable events.
The disappearance of Robert Maxwell, the fall of Berlin Wall and the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal are some of the most impressive.
After a tip off from a member of the cabinet, Stephen and a colleague were the first journalists to report the resignation of Thatcher.
Unaware that the source had been a cabinet minister, Stephen was terrified he had made a mistake and, in turn, put his career in jeopardy.
He said: "The moment we typed in the information it appeared around the world, on Reuters screens, but nothing happened on the other stations.
"It was terrifying, for a split second we thought the source had been wrong.
"Then after what felt like hours, it appeared on the other stations, it was such a relief."
Now in his fifties, Stephen misses the fast paced adrenalin filled life as a journalist, but enjoys the extra time to spend with the family.
He said: "My children are young so luckily they didn't miss me when I worked abroad, and my wife understood as she is a journalist also."
