Thomson Financial braces for sale of print pubs; Publisher keeps two dozen titles but shifts focus to electronic information Services.(Brief Article)
B to B, April, 2001 by SCHWARTZ, MATTHEW
Thomson Financial Publishing last month put a bevy of its most notable print publications up for sale in an effort to focus laserlike on electronic publishing.
Some of the titles are household names in the commercial banking sector, including American Banker and The Bond Buyer.
The sale announcement suggested that Thomson Financial, a division of Toronto-based media conglomerate Thomson Corp., was getting out of the print media business altogether. That's not exactly the case. But while Thomson Financial has retained more than two dozen print titles, it has done so primarily to cross-fertilize the publications with its various electronic information systems that target the multitrillion-dollar institutional investment market.
