The Associated Press is reporting that Consumer Reports will start a new shopping magazine aimed at women, but like the parent publication, won’t accept advertising. The new magazine is being called ShopSmart.
“According to early mock-ups provided to The Associated Press, the magazine will have a breezier look than Consumer Reports, with punchier colors and graphics and shorter, easy-to-read items. Consumer Reports planned to announce the magazine’s debut on Monday.
