Argus Media was founded in 1970 by Jan Nasmyth, a business journalist who wanted to create a platform that provided in-depth analysis and pricing information for the global energy industry. Today, the company is owned by a combination of employee shareholders and General Atlantic, a leading global growth equity firm.Headquartered in London, Argus Media is an international media organization that primarily focuses on energy and commodity markets. This includes reporting on oil, natural gas, emissions, electricity, biofuels, biomass, fertilizers, metals, and transportation. They provide insights, data, news, and analysis to businesses, governments, and organizations around the world.**One interesting fact**: Argus Media operates in a very niche market of energy and commodities journalism. However, within this specific sphere, they are a global leader and their pricing data is widely used as a benchmark in physical supply and derivative contracts for energy industries.
