Reuters has postponed plans to introduce a new paywall on its website, after complaints from the London Stock Exchange Group that the move would place the media company in breach of a 30-year agreement in the sale of its news to data provider Refinitiv.

Reuters had intended to start charging for its news from June, as part of a wider strategy to boost revenue from its digital news readership.
