What does it mean to be an editor in 2022? On the CONTENT stage at this year’s PPA Festival, our stellar line up provided the audience with a wealth of insights into the attributes required in today’s multi-channel editorial world. Here are five key takeaways.

The TOGETHER stage at PPA Festival was where the whole publishing family came together for debate, discussion and discovery. We covered everything from leadership, negotiation how tos, revenue diversity, and the keys to creating a successful company culture.

Whilst previous Festivals may have gamely soldiered on without one, now - with new PPA CEO Sajeeda Merali at the helm - there’s zippo chance the people side of publishing will be getting overlooked for a moment longer. Indeed, attentive members will have noticed People being immortalised as one of the three pillars of the PPA strategy. And what would be the points of a Festival that didn’t ride in tandem with the strategy?

On Thursday May 19, the PPA hosted one of its biggest events of the year, the PPA Festival. To kick the day off we heard from our Chief Executive Officer, Sajeeda Merali about what the sector means to her, the transformative new vision of the PPA under her leadership, and what to expect from the PPA in the near future.
