 PROFILE
The Thomson Corporation knows you "can" teach an old dog new tricks. Traditionally a print publisher, the company is focused these days on providing information online and through CD-ROMs and computer software. Thomson has sold or plans to sell its 130 daily and non-daily papers to concentrate on its electronic products. To that end, the company has formed Canadian media giant Bell Globemedia with telecommunications firm BCE. Thomson owns 20% of the new firm, to which it contributed Toronto's "The Globe and Mail," among other assets. The Thomson family owns about 73% of the company, which bought several Harcourt General businesses in 2001 (after Harcourt was sold to Reed Elsevier).
