History of Thomson Reuters
Thomson Reuters has a multifaceted history, stemming from the merger of two companies with long and diverse histories: Thomson Corporation of Canada and Reuters Group of the United Kingdom.
Reuters Group
Reuters Group has its roots in the 19th century. Paul Julius Reuter established the company in London in 1851, utilizing carrier pigeons to transmit stock market quotations between London and Paris. Reuters expanded its operations globally, establishing itself as a reputable source for international news and financial information.
Thomson Corporation
The Thomson Corporation, on the other hand, originated as a Canadian media company. It was founded by Roy Thomson in 1934 and grew to become a major multinational company with interests in publishing, printing, television, and other media sectors. Over time, Thomson shifted its focus toward electronic publishing and professional information services, divesting many of its traditional media assets.
Merger
In 2008, The Thomson Corporation and Reuters Group PLC merged, forming Thomson Reuters. The merger aimed to create a global leader in the provision of information services, targeting professionals in fields such as finance, law, tax and accounting, science, and media.
Post-Merger Developments
Following the merger, Thomson Reuters continued to evolve, optimizing its business portfolio. In 2018, the company sold a 55% stake in its Financial & Risk business to private equity funds managed by Blackstone, resulting in the formation of a new company, Refinitiv.
Present Day Operations
Today, Thomson Reuters is a globally recognized provider of information and solutions for professionals in legal, tax and accounting, compliance, government, and media sectors. The company continues to invest in technology and innovation to develop cutting-edge products and services that help its customers make more informed decisions in their respective fields.
It is headquartered in Eagan, MN, and operates in more than 100 countries, continuing to shape the industries it serves by providing essential insights, intelligent information, and innovative solutions.
