Reuters to cut 2,000 jobs in financial risk and technology operations
Thomson Reuters said it would cut around 2,000 jobs worldwide as part of a restructure across the business.
The cuts would mainly affect the financial risk and technology and operations part of the business, it said.
There will be no decline in headcount in the Reuters newsroom, a memo to employees stressed.
In results released earlier today Reuters lowered its 2016 forecast and said it would take a charge of $200m to streamline the business.
The news company reported third-quarter earnings of $286m, or 36 cents per share, compared with $293m or 36 cents a share a year ago. However, this was below the predictions of analysts.
