Press Gazette, formerly known as
UK Press Gazette (UKPG), is a
British media trade magazine dedicated to journalism and the press. It was first published in 1965, and currently has a circulation of about 2,500
[1], although it had enjoyed higher circulations earlier in its history. Published with the motto
Journalism Today, it contains news from the worlds of newspapers, magazines, TV, radio and online, dealing with launches, closures, moves, legislation and technological advances affecting journalists.
Commercially, it is funded by subscriptions and by publication of recruitment and classified advertising, as well as occasional display advertising.
In 1994, the magazine was sold again, this time to EMAP. Three years later, the magazine along with MediaWeek and 12 other titles, was sold again, to Quantum Business Media for £14.1 million. [2]
On 19 October 2006, Freud announced that the magazine was for sale, citing as a reason indifference in the newspaper industry to the British Press Awards.
