New Thomson-Reuter Leader Has His Own Blog

Reports so far have indicated that Thomson president and CEO, Richard J. Harrington, 60, who led the transformation of the company from traditional publishing to electronic solutions, software, and services will retire. And Reuters’ CEO, Tom Glocer, 47, would become CEO of the combined company at that time. It will be a new kind of leadership – Glocer has his own blog, called appropriately enough, Tom Glocer’s Blog. In his latest post (May 17), he apologizes for his silence on the merger, but now that the details have been finalized, he says “ … I can already say how proud and honored I am to have been asked to lead this new company - the media company for the 21st century.”
