Thomson Corp. to Buy Reuters

From here:

    Canadian publisher Thomson Corp. has agreed to buy Reuters for about $17.2 billion to create the world’s biggest financial news and data group, the companies said on Tuesday.

    The takeover has the support of the Reuters Founders Share Company, which has the power to block a change of ownership, but the deal still needs regulatory clearance and shareholder approval, the companies said in a joint statement.
