The three media organizations are among the world's leading suppliers of financial news and information. OPEC declined to comment on why reporters from the three media organizations were not invited to cover the OPEC-hosted July 5-6 seminar in Vienna. "Reuters will continue to cover OPEC in an independent, impartial and reliable way, in keeping with the Thomson Reuters Trust Principles." This would be the second consecutive OPEC+ event in which OPEC has restricted media coverage. OPEC sent an email on Tuesday inviting reporters at other media organizations to attend, the sources said.
