NEW YORK, September 28, 2011 - Thomson Reuters (TSX/NYSE: TRI), the world's
leading source of intelligent information for businesses and professionals,
announced today that James C. Smith, currently chief executive officer of the
Professional division, has been named chief operating officer of Thomson
Reuters, effective today.

In connection with the creation of this new role, the company will disband its
current divisional structure (Markets and Professional divisions) and transition
to a set of focused business units. For the balance of the year, the company
will maintain its current financial reporting structure.

"The changes we are announcing today will streamline our organization and enable
us to work better across business units to achieve growth and capture operating
efficiencies from scale," said Thomas H. Glocer, chief executive officer of
Thomson Reuters. "The professional markets in which we operate are marked by
increasing collaboration among specialists and Thomson Reuters must operate with
the speed and agility needed to serve these demanding professionals."

"I am very pleased that Jim Smith has agreed to step into this new role. I have
worked closely with him as he has driven growth across the businesses of our
current Professional division. I look forward to working with Jim and the senior
management team in this new, flatter operating model," said Mr. Glocer.

Separately, Robert D. Daleo, chief financial officer, has informed the Board of
his intention to retire in July 2012 when he turns 63 years old. Mr. Daleo has
served as CFO since 1998. The company announced that Stephane Bello, currently
chief financial officer of the Professional division, will succeed him as chief
financial officer of Thomson Reuters, effective January 1, 2012, and Mr. Daleo
will then serve as vice chairman of the company until his retirement.

"Bob Daleo has guided the financial operations of the company for more than a
decade through three chief executives. Retirement has been anticipated for some
time and we shall miss the presence of a trusted and valued colleague," said
David Thomson, chairman of Thomson Reuters. "Bob's contributions to the
businesses have been immense. Our evolution into a global electronic information
company owes a great debt to him. Bob's advice and leadership will be sorely
missed, but those qualities remain in place over the months ahead to all our
benefit."

"Stephane Bello is the perfect choice to succeed Bob because of his strategic
and analytical strengths, proven leadership abilities and deep knowledge of the
company and our markets," said Mr. Glocer. "He will work closely with Bob, Jim
and me over the next several months to ensure a smooth transition and uphold the
high standards of integrity and financial reporting set by Bob Daleo."
