Reuters’ Aggressive Business News Moves

It’s been an aggressive end-of-year for Reuters, as Dow Jones & Co. quietly moves from the Bancroft family and into the arms of NewsCorp. Less than a week after announcing that they would supply Business with Reuters to International Herald Tribune and on IHT.com, Reuters will supply Reuters News Video to FT.com. The Guardian, which broke the three year deal, said:

”Reuters already supplies photographs, world news and business news to FT.com. It recently signed a three-year deal to be the Pearson-owned newspaper’s major data provider. Its currency rates, company profiles and other services feature prominently in the relaunched FT.com market data section.

”The agency believes the video deal reflects newspapers’ efforts to become multimedia outlets with global audiences hungry for more than just text.”

In other online video business news, yesterday Yahoo announced that they will distribute Yahoo Finance video content to CNBC.
