LONDON, September 7, 2015 - Thomson Reuters, the world's leading source of
intelligent information for businesses and professionals, announced today that
it will be running the Global Sports Forum for Thomson Reuters Eikon Messenger
users throughout the 2015 Rugby World Cup. The Forum, the world's first online
sports forum for the financial and professional services industries, will
feature news, scoring updates, commentary, interviews and discussion blogs
during the World Cup, including commentary from Reuters reporters and editors.
The Global Sports Forum, one of several editorial forums run by Thomson Reuters,
is open to anyone with an Eikon Messenger account, which is available standalone
free of charge or through Thomson Reuters Eikon. It will go live on 7 September
2015, eleven days prior to the official start of the World Cup on 18 September.
"The Global Sports Forum combines Eikon Messenger's open network and ease of use
with the expertise of Reuters, giving financial professionals a place to
interact and share insights around one of the world's largest sporting events,"
said Yvette Jackson, global head of collaboration services at Thomson Reuters.
"Together with the other forums we host on Eikon Messenger, it offers an
exclusive venue for financial professionals from around the world to become
informed on topical issues and events while interacting and networking with
peers."
Global Sports Forum participants are eligible for various prizes during the
tournament.
Thomson Reuters editorial forums provide users with insights across a number of
regions, industries, and asset classes. Individual forums are moderated by
Reuters News reporters and editors to ensure that conversation is both
informative and relevant. While forums are designed to be interactive, users do
have the option of participating with read-only access.
