Reuters is best known as the world's largest
news agency, but more than 90% of the company's revenue comes
from its financial services business. Some 330,000 financial
market professionals working in the equities, fixed income, foreign
exchange, money, commodities and energy markets around the world
use Reuters products. They rely on Reuters services to provide
them with the information and tools they need to help them be
more productive.
Thomson Corp. agreed to acquire Reuters
in May for $17.2 billion to create one of the world's leading
financial news providers.
Founded in London in 1851, Reuters has:
· 370,000 professional users
· Over 17,500 staff in 94 countries
· World's largest international multimedia news agency
- 2,400 editorial staff, journalists, photographers and camera
operators in 196 bureaux serving 131 countries
The Thomson Corporation announced a bid
to acquire Reuters for about $17 billion. The deal is expected
to be completed in April.
