Dutch publisher VNU has entered into a merger agreement with the leading US television ratings supplier, Nielsen Media Research.
The agreement, worth $6.2 billion, will place VNU, which owns UK titles including Computing and Accountancy Age, at the forefront of the US marketing information industry.
