Our work
We work to ensure the value of publishing and the contribution it makes culturally and economically is understood.
We aim to do this by building a strong evidence base as well as by liaising with governments across the world about key policies and laws that impact and support publishing.
Our work encompasses campaigns, policy, public affairs and research. We also provide a range of key member services including export and content protection support.
Areas of activity include advocating for strong copyright laws at home and abroad, working to end VAT discrimination on digital publications and promoting diversity and inclusion within publishing.
Our research
The Publishers Association conducts extensive research activities on a variety of topics, working with a range of organisations.
We capture our insights in reports covering all areas of interest of the publishing industry.
