Reuters News Agency

Reuters is a globally recognized news and financial information agency with a heritage dating back to the mid-19th century. Originally founded in London, the agency has expanded its footprint worldwide, employing thousands of journalists across nearly 200 locations to provide real-time news, data, and analysis. Its 'manufacturing' or content production occurs in virtually every country where it maintains a bureau, making it a truly international operation.

In 2008, the agency underwent a transformative shift when it was acquired by The Thomson Corporation of Canada, resulting in the creation of Thomson Reuters. This merger combined Reuters' strength in international news and financial data with Thomson's extensive legal and professional publishing assets. Today, the organization is a cornerstone of the global media landscape, operating under the Reuters Trust Principles which were established to ensure the agency's independence and freedom from bias.

Control of the parent company, Thomson Reuters Corporation, remains concentrated within the Thomson family through their private investment vehicle, The Woodbridge Company Limited. While the parent company is headquartered in Toronto, Canada, Reuters News continues to maintain a major editorial and operational hub in London, honoring its British roots while serving a global audience.
