To “Sharpen its Focus,” Thomson Places NewsEdge on Auction Block

Thomson Places NewsEdge on Auction Block

Thomson Corp., which bought NewsEdge Corp. in Burlington [Massachusetts] or $43 million in 2001, has quietly put the division on the auction block.

A company spokesman said Thomson decided to focus on its traditional strength of providing specialized legal and financial information to customers rather than NewsEdge’s broader mission of providing more general corporate news to business customers.

“Thomson is just sharpening our focus on delivering specialized content to strategic markets,” said Thomson spokesman John Shaughnessy.
