The CMA has now concluded its investigations and has confirmed that the hold separate period may be ended. This allows JPIMedia Publications / The i to become a fully integrated part of DMGT. We continue to set the highest editorial standards by ensuring that our staff are provided with excellent internally developed training services.

  • Scottish Newspaper Society Is Grateful for the Opportunity to Respond to Ofcom’S Consultation on the Creation of the New BBC Scotland Channel
    17 Polwarth Grove, Edinburgh, EH11 1LY To: Garreth Lodge Content and Media Policy Group, Ofcom, 125 Princes Street, Edinburgh, EH2 4AD. December 14, 2017. Dear Garreth, The Scottish Newspaper Society is grateful for the opportunity to respond to Ofcom’s consultation on the creation of the new BBC Scotland channel. As you may know, the SNS represents the interests of the publishers of some 94 daily and weekly titles (listed in the attached appendix), owned by a mixture of major UK organisations and small independent companies. As I said in the response to the BBC’s consultation earlier in the year, the SNS welcomes the new channel and the potential investment in the cultural, creative and media life of Scotland it represents. We hope our titles can continue to be part of, as well as reflect upon, a vibrant indigenous creative sector boosted by stronger indigenous programme-making. However, as we explored in your recent round-table discussion, news publishers are particularly concerned about the scale of the BBC’s plans for news and the inevitable impact a £6m increase in the budget of one already significant organisation will have on others providing similar services in what is a small market. As the BBC’s recent submission to Ofcom showed, it has spoken to senior Scottish newspaper industry representatives and says it accepts that steps should be taken to avoid “adverse impact on fair and effective competition”. While we welcome the extent to which the BBC has taken note of our concerns, particularly in Annex 2 of their submission, they have been noted but then dismissed and we are not mollified by their assurances that they do not intend to compete with the services provided by SNS members.

  • Aberdeen and the Northern Counties
    A REPUTATION FOR EXCELLENCE Volume 4: Aberdeen and the Northern Counties Introduction A History of the Edinburgh Printing Industry, the first booklet in the series A Reputation for Excellence, gives a brief account of the advent of printing to Scotland. It is known that a patent was granted by King James IV in September 1507 to Walter Chepman and Andro Myllar ‘burgessis of our town of Edinburgh’. At His Majesty’s request they were authorised ‘for our plesour, the honour and profitt of our realme and liegis to furnish the necessary materials and capable workmen to print the books of the laws and other books necessary which might be required’. The partnership set up business in the Southgait (Cowgate) of Edinburgh. From that time until the end of the seventeenth century royal patents were issued to the trade, thus confining printing to a select number. The introduction of printing presses to Scotland proceeded slowly. The beginnings in Edinburgh in 1507 were followed after forty-five years by St Andrews in 1552, Stirling in 1571 (for a brief period), Aberdeen in 1622, and Glasgow in 1638. These workshops were quite small, one-man or two-men shops at the most, and it was not unusual for a printer to collect his gear and move from one place to another. The three earlier books in this series give accounts of the history of printing in Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Dundee and Perth. This fourth endeavours to cover a much wider area: the first part deals with the history of printing in Aberdeen while the second part attempts to encompass what we have called the Northern Counties.

    PE1521/F Clerk/Chief Executive David Stewart MSP Edinburgh c/o Public Petitions Clerks EH99 1SP Room T3.40 The Scottish Parliament Tel: 0131-348-5255 Edinburgh [email protected] EH99 1SP Typetalk: 18001 0131 348 5255 (for Scottish parliament information use the Textphone No: 0845 270 0152) 3 November 2014 Dear David PE1521: No More Page 3 in the Scottish Sun and Scottish Parliament Thank you for your letter of 18 June 2014 about the above petition and please accept my apology for the delay in replying to you. Your Committee has asked for my comments on the petitioners’ request that the Scottish Parliament cease to stock or sell the Scottish Sun while it retains the Page 3 feature and the petitioners argue this is contrary to the Parliament’s Equalities Framework. Your Committee has also asked for details of how many copies of this publication are stocked and sold and the locations the publication is displayed. This information, together with details of other newspapers is enclosed with this letter. I have discussed your request with the SPCB. The Corporate Body recognises the strength of feeling on this petition and notes that the Parliament has debated the wider issue of Page 3 by way of a Member’s debate in November last year which garnered cross party support. In terms of the availability of the Scottish Sun, two copies are supplied to the Parliament each day for sale at the coffee bar in the Garden Lobby, along with the other newspapers outlined in the enclosure to this letter.
