Regional magazine publisher group

In 2007 the regional magazine publishers within PPA formed a group to represent this vibrant and growing magazine sector.

The UK’s regional magazine industry is an important sector, with more than 300 different magazines and an estimated combined circulation of over 9 million copies.

PPA's regional magazine publisher group provides a valuable networking opportunity where regional magazine publishers can exchange ideas and debate issues affecting their businesses.

In 2008, for the first time, a category for Regional magazine of the year has been introduced into the Independent publisher awards. The award will recognise the magazine that best represents it’s region or community.

Through a programme of meetings and events the group aims to:

Raise the profile of this developing sector
Provide a forum for regional magazine publishers to exchange ideas and discuss common issues
Host a conference for regional magazine publishers with expert speakers, focussing on key industry issues

Regional magazine publisher group members:

Terry Hall, CN Group (Chairman)
