Last week the main UK political parties launched their respective manifestos, outlining policy pledges ahead of the 12 December general election. The PPA Public Affairs Team have been trawling through the detail to bring you the most significant proposals for the publishing industry.

At this year's PPA Independent Publisher Conference, Julian Rose spoke about the way in which his company, Chemical Watch, has pivoted from a B2B news business to an enterprise membership platform. I spoke to Rose about the market research behind this decision and how they are maximising customer value.

The brand refresh, steered by HBM’s creative director Simon Kanter and art director Tim Scott, puts a greater emphasis on creativity and includes the new strapline “Championing those who make a difference” to highlight the vital role Third Sector’s audience of charities and voluntary groups play in bringing about change.

The nation was thrown into a frenzy last week when an exclusive interview in Railway Modeller magazine revealed that Sir Rod Stewart has spent 23 years building a model city and railway. Steve Flint, editor and photographer at the magazine was one of the two individuals lucky enough to conduct the interview with Sir Rod, now that he has finished his Grand Street and Three Rivers City model.
