History [link]
The company was founded in 1918 as United Newspapers[2] by David Lloyd George to acquire the Daily Chronicle and Lloyd's Weekly Newspaper. In 1929, the company merged with Provincial Newspapers, an owner of regional papers in the north; the next year, it sold its national papers. The company continued for decades as a regional newspaper publisher, making acquisitions such as Yorkshire Post Newspapers in 1969.
The history of the companies that now make up UBM stretches back almost two hundred years to the Journal of Commerce which was founded and first published by Samuel Morse in 1827. Today, the Journal of Commerce is produced in both print and digital formats by UBM Global Trade. UBM businesses still publish many other titles that were launched in the 19th century, including Building magazine, launched in 1843 by Joseph Hansom, as well as Chemist & Druggist.[3]
It acquired PR Newswire in 1982.[2] In 1985 it bought Express Newspapers and continued to publish the Daily Express for some 15 years.[2] It changed its name to United News & Media in 1995,[2] sold its regional papers in 1998, and bought CMP Media in 1999 for $920 million.[2] In 2000, it sold the Daily Express to Richard Desmond and adopted the name of United Business Media. It went on to acquire Commonwealth Business Media for $152 million in 2006.[4]
In 2005 UBM re-focused on two principal businesses: PR Newswire, a global news distribution business; and CMP, an international events, print and online publishing business. It disposed of NOP which was acquired by GFK for £383 million in 2005. [5]
In September 2006, NewBay Media acquired CMP Entertainment Media from United Business Media [6]
On 1 July 2008, as part of a reorganisation of the corporate structure of the Group, United Business Media Limited (UBML) was created as a new holding company and parent company of the Group. UBML is UK-listed and incorporated in Jersey.[7]
In 2010 the principal holding company of the United Business Media group (the “Group”) was organised in to five operating segments: [8] Events, TD & M, Data Services, Online and Print. [9]
In September 2010, Canon Communications announced that it had agreed to be acquired by UBM.[10]
In May 2011, United Business Media officially changed its name to UBM plc.[11]

Shout!!!
Shout!!! (シャウト!!! Shauto!!!) is the 21st single from the Japanese idol group Idoling!!!. It reached number 3 on M-ON! Countdown 100, number 2 on Music Station Single Ranking, and number 6 on Oricon Weekly Chart. Idoling!!! was divided into two groups. The main body of the group stayed with the name Idoling!!!, while the other group was called Idoling NEO. Idoling NEO consists of Idoling!!!'s new members, who just joined in August 2013, with addition of #23 Yuna Ito and #25 Kaoru Goto. Both groups released a single at the same time, with Idoling!!! releasing Shout!!! as their 21st single under the Pony Canyon label and Idoling NEO released mero mero as their first single under the Avex label. Both had to compete on the Oricon weekly chart for which group sold more than the other. The losing side will then receive a severe punishment.
On November 25, 2013, it was announced that Idoling NEO lost in the competition. Idoling NEO has to receive the punishment, which is having to wear skinny tights.
Shout (magazine)
Shout is a UK magazine for teenage girls, published by D. C. Thomson & Co. Ltd of Dundee, Scotland, since 1993. It is not to be confused with Shout NY, a cult thought and culture magazine published in New York City from 1998-2003.
It carries articles on fashion, celebrities, flowcharts, true stories, problems and embarrassing moments. It is printed fortnightly, normally at £2.99, and is read by over 520,000 people each fortnight.
The categories include a wide range of articles. The celebrity pages may have a topic (such as celebs who pick their noses, etc.) or can be just be embarrassing or enhancing pictures. Fashion shows clothes available at various stores and different ways to wear them and different ranges of colors and ways to apply make up to enhance one's features. Flow charts and polls let readers express their opinion and see what other people think on a topic. True stories contain stories of people's experiences, problems or ailments. "Problems" is a write-back system which allows girls to send in their problems which may appear in the magazine or receive a written reply. "Embarrassing moments" is a feature on readers' recent embarrassing moments. They are rated on how embarrassing they are: if the editors say 'Get over it', then it is deemed barely embarrassing; 'Slightly shameful' means it was embarrassing at the time but the reader should eventually get over it, and 'Completely cringey!' means she will never live it down. The magazine also features advice columns from youtubers Zoella and SprinkleofGlitter.
