Sir George Roderick Jones KBE (21 October 1877 – 23 January 1962) was a British journalist and news agency manager, who for most of his career worked for Reuters.

In 1895, he took a job as sub-editor on the Pretoria Press and later that year became an assistant to the Reuters correspondent in the Republic.

[4] During the rest of the War, Reuters followed a carefully patriotic line, so much so that Jones was accused of being the British government's head of propaganda.

[1] Their only daughter, Laurian, was born in 1921,[9] and was married first, from 1952 to 1955, to Rowland Winn,[10] and second to Anne-Pierre d’Harcourt, the son of Robert d'Harcourt.

[15] After working at Reuters, he lived on sailing ships, wrote a cookery book, and ran a small theatre.
