<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><strong><b><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">STAMFORD,
Conn., February&nbsp;7, 2008 </font></b></strong><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&#151; The Thomson Corporation (NYSE: TOC; TSX: TOC), a leading provider of
information solutions to business and professional customers worldwide, today
reported that&#133;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&#147;The fourth quarter
was a strong finish to a milestone year&#133;while repositioning our portfolio
through&#133;the proposed acquisition of Reuters,&#148; </font><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;">said
Richard J. Harrington, Thomson President and Chief Executive Officer.</font><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;">  </font><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&#147;&#133;.Thomson
Financial recorded&#133;&#133;., while continuing to advance the integration planning
associated with the proposed Reuters acquisition</font><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;">.&#148;&#133;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&#147;I
remain convinced that our acquisition of Reuters will be approved given the
complementary nature of our businesses, and I continue to expect the
transaction to close early in the second quarter,&#148; said Mr.&nbsp;Harrington. &#147;Integration
planning efforts are proceeding on course. </font><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;">At the same time, our plans to streamline our
operations and improve efficiencies at Thomson, which we began in 2006 and
which will be completed ahead of schedule, have put us in a strong position for
the successful integration of Reuters.&#148;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&#147;After
the acquisition closes, Thomson Reuters will be the leading global provider of
information and related applications to knowledge workers who need intelligent
information to fulfill their professional obligations and do their jobs
successfully,&#148; said Mr.&nbsp;Harrington.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&#147;As we enter a time
of economic uncertainty, I believe Thomson has never been stronger,

said.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">This
news release, in particular the discussion of the proposed acquisition of
Reuters, includes forward-looking statements. These statements are based on
certain assumptions and reflect the Corporation&#146;s current expectations.
Forward-looking statements also include statements about the Corporation&#146;s
beliefs&#133;that the Reuters acquisition will be approved and close early in the
second quarter...While Thomson believes that the proposed transaction with
Reuters will be approved by antitrust/competition authorities, there can be no
assurance that required approvals will be obtained, how long it will take to
obtain such approvals or what conditions, if any, such authorities may impose.
All forward-looking statements in this news release are subject to a number of
risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results or events to differ
materially from current expectations. These risks and uncertainties include the
failure of Reuters shareholders to approve the proposed transaction; the effect
of regulatory conditions, if any, imposed by regulatory authorities; the
reaction of Thomson&#146;s and Reuters&#146; customers, employees and suppliers to the
proposed transaction; the ability to promptly and effectively integrate the
businesses of Thomson and Reuters after the transaction closes; and the
diversion of management time on transaction-related issues. Some of the other
factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from
current expectations are actions of competitors; failure to fully derive anticipated
benefits from acquisitions and divestitures; failure to develop additional
products and services to meet customers&#146; needs, attract new customers or expand
into new geographic markets; and changes in the general economy&#133;.Additional
factors are discussed in the Corporation&#146;s materials filed with the securities
regulatory authorities in Canada and the United States from time to time,
including the Corporation&#146;s latest annual information form, which is also
contained in its most recently filed annual report on Form&nbsp;40-F.<b>  </b>The Corporation disclaims any intention or obligation to
update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise, other than as required by applicable
law, rule&nbsp;or regulation.</font></p>
