After its 17 billion dollar acquisition of Reuters, Thomson selected WordPress for their website and decided to put their day 1 announcement site on WordPress.com VIP.

“The newly formed Thomson Reuters Corp made its highly anticipated debut this past Thursday. Thomson Reuters is now the largest business focused media company in the world with 50,000 employees and annual revenues of more than $12.5 billion.

To communicate to various groups about the new combined entity, Thomson Reuters selected WordPress.com VIP to host this high-traffic and high-profile site.”
