I'm doing on an article he wrote.

Majendie has been a reporter for Reuters for more that 30 years.  I
can provide you with a four-line summary of the various bureaus he has
worked in in Europe and the subject areas he has covered in the London
home bureau. Would this be sufficient for your purposes, or do you
need pre-Reuters information (place of birth, education, etc.), which
haven't turned up in my research.

"I

home bureau."

This would be fine!

Thanks!

Thanks for your clarification.  The information appears at the end of
a July 6,2004 Reuters piece that was published by Sports Illustrated
Online:

"Paul Majendie joined Reuters in 1970 and worked as a correspondent in
several bureaux -- five years in Paris, three in Hong Kong, three in
Canada and seven in Dublin. In the London bureau, he has worked in
parliament, as defence correspondent and covering arts and
entertainment. He has worked as a reporter at every summer Olympics
from 1984."

Sports Illustrated Online: "Lewis poetry in motion at Showbiz Games"
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2004/olympics/2004/07/05/bc.sport.olympics.eyewitness.1984/


Note that the quote contains a couple of British spellings ("bureaux"
and "defence"), which may or may not be suitable for your paper.


Search Strategy:

I had the help of a little luck on this one, since I found the article
as one of the top results of the following Google search:

"paul majendie" born
://www.google.com/search?num=30&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&q=%22paul+majendie%22+born&btnG=Search

I hoped that this search would lead me to a more comprehensive bio,
but it turned out that the Sports Illustrated story used the word
"born" in connection with one of athletes Majendie was writing about. 
Happily, it also contained enough information about Majendie's
background to serve your purposes.

I then conducted several other Google searches to confirm
(successfully, I think) that a more comprehensive bio of Majendie was
not readily available online.


Based on your clarification, I am confident that this information will
be useful to you.  If anything is unclear, please ask for
clarification before rating the answer.
