Future Says No to The Week, Keeps Its Own ‘Future’ Tasting of Loss

Future, the London‑listed media group behind the price‑comparison platform Go Compare, has rebuffed an indicative offer for the current‑affairs magazine The Week.

The decision shows that even a company wrestling with its own prospects isn’t prepared to swap its ticker for a publication that spends its pages speculating about the future.

City commentators can’t help but smile at the irony: a firm called Future refusing a deal with a title that literally reports on the future.

The board’s simple “no” leaves The Week to keep writing its own story while Future continues to navigate the challenges of the media market on its own terms.
