PPA calls for meeting with Culture Secretary to champion trusted editorial brands

Following the recent Media & Telecoms 2025 and Beyond conference, the PPA has written to the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, Lisa Nandy MP, to welcome her commitment to the UK’s creative industries and to request a meeting.

The letter highlights the significant contribution of specialist publishers to the UK economy and society, from our role in producing high-quality children’s content to our work in sustaining trusted journalism through advertising and subscription models. It outlines key challenges facing the sector, particularly around AI and monetisation, and calls for publisher representation in the planned government working groups on copyright and AI.

The letter makes clear that the PPA can play a vital role in helping deliver the government’s ambitions for the creative industries.
