The respected and long established Reuters news service will soon change ownership, it appears. Canadian publisher Thomson Corporation has agreed to buy the company for a reported GBP 8.7 billion ($17.23 billion)
The deal will create the world's largest financial news and data group, the deal-makers claim.
The deal has the support of the Reuters Founders Share Company, which could have blocked a takeover if it thought Reuters editorial independence was at risk, but still needs regulatory clearance, they said.
