Talk:Pearson PLC

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Who owns Pearson? IMO, this is the single most important information a reader should know about a publication before reading it. I've written to both the FT and the Economist asking this question but they did not respond. It may explain why the Economist should want to hand over several pages of its magazine to the ex-director of the Israeli Secret Service, for example, in one issue.

If you're really interested, buy one share and go to Shareview to get the information. It appears that the information is not completely publicly available for non-shareholders. --Alvestrand 17:07, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

There is an EDA company with the name of Prentice Hall-PTR/ Pearson Education, Inc. There are also some other big names in the game of publishing who have their fingers in chip design industry: McGraw-Hill and Elsevier.

[edit] I agree that ownership is really needed to be added.

Actually I only entered this page to point out that the ownership is really missing and actually I myself entered the page with the sole purpose of finding out who are the big owners behind such an important media giant. Whoever has useful information about the owners, please add it. Smallchanges 21:09, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Infoplease

This should probably just be merged into here. It's a small one paragraph article, which could fall easily under this article's scope. Quadzilla99 11:13, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
