Does Shortlist have the most obviously self-written letters page in publishing?
This was the scurrilous suggestion from one Press Gazette reader who compiled a short list of Shortlist’s finest letters:
1 “Irony and topical snacks rolled into one? Yes please!†‘Enzo’
2 “I am yet another woman who wants to praise you for making such a brilliant mag.†‘Nina’
3 “Shortlist is a refreshing change from the usual smut that litters other men’s magazines.†‘MerkDog’
4 “From comedy to style to interesting features that aren’t about what models call their breasts… Shortlist is cracking!†‘Saul’
And finally, the moment the Shortlist scribes finally lost their minds:
5 “I’m loving the letters section ‒ reader after reader gushing about the fact that Shortlist is so brilliant!†‘Tori’
