In 1959 United Press merged with International News Service to become United Press International.
UPI was acquired by the Washington Times in 2000. UPI's chief correspondent, Helen Thomas[?], resigned upon its acquisition, complaining about the Times's links to the Unification Church.
According to the dpa and afp news stored for instance at http://cisar.org/000516d.htm UPI was acquired by News World Communications, which includes The Washington Times newspaper, in 2000.
