Having worked alongside the PPA for 20 years, Michael Sturges is the sustainability expert in publishing.

Read the full interview to hear about how you effectively use LOYAL as both a journalist and publisher and the power of technology and digital transformation to deliver publishers the ability to do what they do best: create fantastic content and editorial.
