Future Publishing : ウィキペディア英語版
Future plc

Future plc is a media company. In 2006, it was ranked as the sixth-largest media corporation in the United Kingdom. It publishes more than 30 magazines in fields such as video games, technology, films, photography, and sport. Future is the official magazine company of two out of the three major games console manufacturers with Official Nintendo Magazine ceased publishing in October 2014. It is a constituent of the FTSE Fledgling Index. The company also owns the US company Future US.
==History==

The company was founded as Future Publishing in Somerton, Somerset in 1985 by Chris Anderson with the sole magazine Amstrad Action. An early innovation was the inclusion of free software on magazine covers, the first company to do so.〔
Anderson sold Future to Pearson PLC for £52.7m in 1994, but bought it back in 1998, with Future chief executive Greg Ingham and Apax Venture Partners, for £142m.〔 In 2001 Anderson left Future.
In 2007 the State of Texas filed a lawsuit against Future plc for violating the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act. The lawsuit alleges that the Future plc owned website GamesRadar "failed to include necessary disclosures and obtain parental consent before collecting personal information from children." The owner of the other websited settled in March 2008, though the final disposition against Future plc is not public record.
In November 2009, Future reported a fall in profits from £9.5 million to £3.7 million (a loss of 61 percent) in the fiscal year that ended 30 September 2009. Future attributed this to problems with their US market, hit by a fall in the general advertising market.〔
In March 2010, Future announced that it was exploring the possibility of reviving its ''GamesMaster'' brand on television. The video games show had run from 1992 until 1998; the spin-off magazine continues to be published.
The company has been in process of shuttering print media properties in favor of digital media, closing many titles and selling off others. In January 2012, Future sold its U.S. music-media brands, including ''Guitar World'' and ''Revolver'', to New Bay Media LLC for $3 million.〔http://online.hemscottir.com/ir/futr/ir.jsp?page=news-item&item=883747503247192〕 In April 2013, it completed the sale of major components of its UK media-music brands for ₤10.2 million to Team Rock Ltd.〔http://hsprod.investis.com/ir/futr/ir.jsp?page=news-item&item=1505942235512870〕 In September 2013, Future announced it would cut 55 jobs from its UK operation as part of a restructuring to adapt "more effectively to the company's rapid transition to a primarily digital business model."〔http://www.theguardian.com/media/2013/sep/03/future-publishing-cut-55-jobs〕 The company announced in March 2014 that it will close all of its U.S.-based print publications and shift US print support functions such as consumer marketing, production and editorial leadership for Future's international print brands to the UK.〔(Future US streamlined to focus on digital ), RNS Number : 3903D, Future PLC, 28 March 2014〕 Later in 2014, Future sold its sport, craft, and auto titles.
Future won the Association of Online Publishers (AOP) ''Consumer Digital Publisher of the Year'' Award for the third year in a row in 2010.〔http://www.journalism.co.uk/news/how-future-builds-an-audience-before-launching-a-new-title/s2/a553224/〕
