Reuters News

Reuters is one of the world's largest and most established news agencies, founded in London in 1851 by Paul Julius Reuter. Originally established to transmit stock market quotations between London and Paris using the newly laid undersea telegraph cables, it quickly evolved into a global news organization known for its commitment to speed and impartiality.

Today, Reuters operates as a division of Thomson Reuters, a multinational information services corporation. The organization maintains a massive global footprint, with thousands of journalists stationed across nearly 200 locations worldwide. While its historical roots are deeply embedded in the United Kingdom, its corporate ownership transitioned to Canada following the acquisition of Reuters Group PLC by The Thomson Corporation in 2008.

As of 2024 and beyond, the ultimate parent company is Thomson Reuters Corporation, headquartered in Toronto, Canada. The company is majority-owned by Woodbridge, an investment vehicle for the Thomson family. Reuters remains a cornerstone of the global media landscape, providing real-time data, financial information, and multimedia news to professional markets and media outlets globally.
