## Company history

Thomson Reuters traces its roots to two businesses: Reuters, founded in 1851 when Paul Julius Reuter began transmitting market quotations from London, and Roy Thomson’s newspaper business, which began with his purchase of Timmons Press in Canada in 1934. International Thomson Organisation and Thomson Newspapers combined to form The Thomson Corporation in 1989. Thomson expanded its legal-information business by acquiring West Publishing in 1996. [28](https://www.thomsonreuters.com/en/about-us/company-history)

The Thomson Corporation acquired Reuters Group in 2008, creating Thomson Reuters. In 2018, the company sold a majority interest in its Financial & Risk business to a Blackstone-led consortium; that business became Refinitiv. Refinitiv was subsequently acquired by London Stock Exchange Group in 2021.
