History
Since its founding by Roy Herbert Thomson, Thomson's history has developed alongside the media age. By the end of the 1950s, Thomson had grown from a single Canadian newspaper, The Timmins Press, into a global media concern. It held several prominent newspapers in the United Kingdom, including The Sunday Times and The Scotsman, and it owned Scottish Television. Roy Herbert Thomson, 1st Baron Thomson of Fleet (June 5, 1894 – August 4, 1976) was a newspaper proprietor and media entrepreneur. ...
The Sunday Times is a Sunday broadsheet newspaper distributed in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland, published by Times Newspapers Ltd, a subsidiary of News International which is in turn owned by News Corporation. ...
The Scotsmans offices in Edinburgh The Scotsman is a Scottish national newspaper, published in Edinburgh. ...
Scottish Television (now legally known as STV Central Ltd and referred to on-air as STV) is Scotlands largest ITV franchisee, and has held the ITV franchise for Central Scotland since August 31, 1957. ...
In the 1960s, Thomson's publishing realm expanded further to include Thomson Publication (UK), a consumer magazine and book publishing house, and the prestigious The Times of London. In 1965, Thomson Newspapers, Ltd. was formed as a publicly traded company in Canada. Roy Thomson's prolific endeavors in publishing had earned him a hereditary title, Lord Thomson of Fleet. Yet, Thomson's interests moved beyond publishing with the creation of Thomson Travel and acquisition of Britannia Airways in 1965 and 1971, and a foray into a consortium exploring the North Sea for oil and gas. The Times is a national newspaper published daily in the United Kingdom (and the Kingdom of Great Britain before the United Kingdom existed) since 1788 when it was known as The Daily Universal Register. ...
Britannia Boeing 757-200 shortly after take-off Britannia Airways was the largest charter airline in the United Kingdom, rebranded as Thomsonfly in 2005. ...
The North Sea is a sea of the Atlantic Ocean, located between the coasts of Norway and Denmark in the east, the coast of the British Isles in the west, and the German, Dutch, Belgian and French coasts in the south. ...
By the end of the 1970s, Thomson Newspapers' circulation in the United States had surpassed the 1 million mark. The company assumed its current name in 1989 with the merger of Thomson Newspapers and the International Thomson Organization. International Thomson Organization was a development of the commercial empire founded by Lord Thomson of Fleet (Roy Thomson). ...
Over the years, the company has withdrawn from its holdings in the oil and gas business, the travel industry and department stores.[4]
When Kenneth Thomson took over from his father Roy in 1976, the company was worth about $500 million. At Kenneth's death in June 2006, the company was valued at about $29.3 billion.[4] Kenneth Roy Thomson, 2nd Baron Thomson of Fleet (1 September 1923 – 12 June 2006) was a Canadian businessman and art collector who, at the time of his death, was the ninth richest person in the world, according to Forbes. ...
Transition to business information In 1978, the acquisition of Wadsworth Publishing provided Thomson with its first entry into specialized information, college textbooks and professional books.[4]
Starting in the mid-1990s, Thomson invested further in specialized information services (but this time providing them in digital format) and began selling off its newspapers. That was about the time Richard J. Harrington, an accountant, became chief executive officer of the company. One of the first moves came when Thomson spent $3.4 billion to acquire the West Publishing Company, a legal information provider in Eagan, MN.[4] Eagan is a city located in Dakota County, Minnesota. ...
Today, Thomson provides much of the specialized information content the world's financial, legal, research and medical organizations rely on every day to make business-critical decisions and drive innovation. While it remains a publishing company, early and aggressive investment in electronic delivery has become a key company goal.[4] “Publisher†redirects here. ...
"Except for its educational division, which still publishes a substantial number of conventional textbooks, Thomson had the good fortune to move into these businesses as customers were demanding electronic delivery of their information," according to a July 3, 2006 article in The New York Times. "In some markets, Thomson was able to move past other players who were more cautious about digital conversion."[4] The New York Times is a daily newspaper published in New York City and distributed internationally. ...
Although Thomson's new business areas are profitable, they may not be as well-known, or appear as glamorous, which may be why the company tends to have a relatively low profile. About 80 percent of the stock not controlled by the Thomson family is owned by Canadians already familiar with the company.[4]

Its brands include Westlaw, FindLaw, BarBri, Physician's Desk Reference, RIA, Tax and Accounting (tax and accounting software and services for Accountants), Quickfinder, DISEASEDEX, DrugREAX, Medstat, Thomson First Call, Checkpoint, EndNote, Derwent World Patent Index, SAEGIS, Micropatent, Aureka, Faxpat, OptiPat, Just Files, Corporate Intelligence, InfoTrac, Delphion, Arco Test Prep, Peterson's Directories, TradeWeb, Web of Science and the Arden Shakespeare.
