BRUSSELS/WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Regulators in Europe, the United States and Canada conditionally approved Thomson Corp’s acquisition of Reuters, a deal that will create the world’s leading provider of news and data for professional markets.  …more

….so, I guess the question is, how many more unemployed journalists will there be? Or, will Thomson do with Reuters what they did with their newspapers in Canada?

Anybody got any great working for Thomson stories so the young-uns can hear about the bad old days? …oh, what’s that? nothings really changed? :^)
