Is Murdoch's News-Corp taking over the Reuters news agency?

 The British news and information provider Reuters confirmed takeover rumors on Friday. A buyer has announced its interest, but it is not known who this is. The expression of interest does not necessarily have to lead to an offer, Reuters announced in London on Friday, according to SDA. It is also not certain whether an offer would receive the necessary approval in accordance with the articles of association. Reuters shares reacted to the announcement with a price jump of over 21 percent to 594 pence. There had previously been speculation on the markets about a takeover bid of 600 pence from Canadian competitor Thomson or Rupert Murdoch's News Corp group. Murdoch had recently already submitted a takeover bid for Reuters' competitor Dow Jones, but was initially rebuffed.
