Summary

Global information services company formed by the 2008 merger of Thomson and Reuters — providing financial data, legal research, tax tools, and news to professional markets.

Core Contribution

The Thomson Reuters model: professional information services as a subscription business — Westlaw (legal research), ONESOURCE (tax), Eikon (financial data) serve captive professional audiences with high switching costs. Reuters's century-old news wire provides editorial credibility. The company represents the 'professional information services' category: not consumer media but essential workflow tools for financial, legal, and tax professionals.
