Thomson Corporation

Richard J. Harrington is the CEO of Thomson Corporation.

The Thomson Corporation (NYSE: TOC) is a specialized publishing company that provides legal and financial data, distributed online, through CD-ROMs and in print. Thomson operates several market groups including Thomson Legal & Regulatory (the largest), Thomson Learning, Thomson Financial and Thomson Scientific & Healthcare.

Thomson was once a major newspaper publisher, owning the Times of London and The Scotsman in the UK and about 130 daily and non-daily newspapers in the USA and Canada. These properties were gradually sold as Thomson decided to focus on the business-to-business market. Most of the North American newspapers were sold in 2000, to Gannett and CNHI.

In 2004 Thomson sold Thomson Media, its business publishing division, to Investcorp, an investment holding company. The company was renamed Source Media in 2005.

The company assumed its current name in 1989 with the merger of Thomson Newspapers and the International Thomson Organization. Roy Herbert Thomson founded the company, and the Thomson family owns 63% of Thomson Corporation through Woodbridge Investment Company.
