Reuters Media Shake-Up 'Not A Revolution'

Reuters' Media division has experienced a management shakeup in the wake of its merger with Thomson, including the departure of U.S.-based Reuters Media GM Stephen Smyth. This week it offered a clearer picture of its revamp. It will now be a news agency, a consumer media outlet and a professional publisher, according to the company.

It will also seek ways to integrate its media offerings with Thomson's data. "Part of the information that Thomson gives on health, science [and other topics means] there will be a lot more news for the Reuters clients," states Monique Villa, CEO of the Reuters Foundation.

But she doesn't foresee Reuters' new Thomson bedfellow joining in by supplying data to newspapers. "These changes are not a restructuring," she insists, "it's not a revolution."
