Media deals: Future buys Shortlist

By William Turvill


Magazine publisher Future plc has bought Shortlist, the one-time men’s freesheet which since 2019 has been a website built around product reviews and ecommerce.

Future said the acquisition “strengthens Future’s market-leading position in the tech sector… Shortlist brings a powerful reviews engine with the potential to accelerate ecommerce monetisation and increase the value of advertising partnerships.”

Shortlist editor-in-chief Marc Chacksfield will remain in post. He was previously editor of Tech Radar, another Future-owned consumer technology title.
