Reuters is a United Kingdom-based news agency that provides reports to news media worldwide. It was founded in 1851 by Paul Julius Reuter, who used new submarine cables under the English Channel to wire stock prices from bourses on continental1 Europe back to his London office and then to the London Stock Exchange. The company built a reputation for high quality financial information and for being first to report on high-profile world events. It became a public company in 1984 and in 2007, it merged2 with Canada’s Thomson Corp. to become Thomson Reuters. The company employs several thousand journalists around the globe and generates annual revenues in excess of $4 billion. Its website says: “Reuters is the world’s leading source of intelligent information for businesses and professionals.”
