Trusted Reviews is a web publication focused on technology, published in London, UK by Trusted Reviews Limited.
History
[edit]Trusted Reviews was founded in 2003 by Hugh Chappell and Riyad Emeran as a response to the decline in sales of computer reviews magazines. Launched to provide a web only product for increasingly internet-literate users, access was deliberately made free to compete with paid-for magazine subscriptions.[1] The website covers the consumer technology market, focusing on mobile phones, TV and audio visual equipment and computing.[2]
In 2007, the-then IPC Media bought Trusted Reviews in order to expand its digital operations.[3][4]
In 2010, Cliff Jones was appointed editor of Trusted Reviews.[5]
In 2012, Evan Kypreos was appointed editor.[6][7]
In 2018, Nick Merritt was appointed Editor-in-Chief.[8]
Prior to Meredith purchasing Time Inc., Trusted Reviews was regularly featured as a contributor to Time Magazine.[9]
In 2020, Future plc (owner of competitor TechRadar) acquired TI Media, the then-parent company of Trusted Reviews and then sold Trusted Reviews to Incisive Media.[10]
As of 2023, Trusted Reviews is no longer owned by Incisive Media and is run independently as part of Trusted Reviews Limited.
In August 2023 they announced the acquisition of Wareable Media Group.[11]
