Green Star Media Ltd is a United Kingdom-based international publisher of specialist sports content through websites, e-magazines and e-books. The company has a subscription-based business model where advertising is not a significant source of revenue.[1] It publishes informed and easy-to-follow advice for coaches in football (soccer), rugby, basketball, for athletes in endurance sports, and sports physiotherapists (physical therapists).[2]

The company was founded by Andrew Griffiths, a former business journalist with The Daily Telegraph[3] and founder of the award-winning AIM Newsletter,[4] which covered London's Alternative Investment Market for smaller companies. Griffiths left the company in November 2018 and remains a significant shareholder.

Trevor Goul-Wheeker was chairman of Green Star Media from January 2013[5] until May 2015.

Chrysalis VCT invested in the business in June 2014 by providing investment loans.[1] At the same time the company bought two titles, Peak Performance and Sports Injury Bulletin, from Electric Word.[6]

In 2014, the company was shortlisted for a Media Pioneer Award for launching Basketball Coach Weekly into the US market.[7]
