Thomson Reuters is to cut 2,500 jobs in according to chief executive Jim Smith, the BBC (and others) report.
The job losses, which equate to 4 per cent of the company’s 60,000 employees, will fall primarily in the Financial and Risk division which rents out information terminals to financial clients

The proposed cuts come as Thomson Reuters announced full year underlying operating profit down 5 per cent year on year to $2.4bn on turnover up 1 per cent to $12.9bn.
