Reuters (via AOL)
international center
Reuters is an international wire service owned by Thomson Reuters Corporation, majority-controlled by the Thomson family of Canada; U.S. readers often encounter its stories through AOL, a web portal now owned by Italian tech firm Bending Spoons. Major media-bias analysts consistently rate Reuters as centrist and highly factually accurate, and its editorial independence is formally protected by the Reuters Trust Principles. Its coverage of the Trump administration's second term follows a standard wire-service approach — factual and source-driven — though friction exists: the Pentagon barred Reuters photographers from Iran-war briefings in March 2026 alongside the AP and Getty Images.
Owned byThomson Reuters Corporation (publicly traded); the Thomson family of Canada controls roughly 72% of shares through The Woodbridge Company Ltd. AOL, the distribution platform carrying Reuters content, was acquired in January 2026 by Italian tech conglomerate Bending Spoons from Yahoo (owned by Apollo Global Management) for approximately $1.5 billion.
