WHAT IS THE BSME?

The BSME is the only society in the UK exclusively for digital and print editors and senior editorial staff. Our aim is to represent the needs and views of all digital and print editors - providing a strong, clear voice for our industry. Our strapline is ‘Digital. Print. Excellence.’

Members of our society edit the top consumer, professional and customer magazines and websites across a wide range of markets, including titles as diverse as National Geographic Traveller (UK), Grazia, Rugby Journal, Which? Fabulous, Kookie, Marie Claire, FourFourTwo, Good Housekeeping, Cocoa, GQ, Glamour and HELLO!

BENEFITS OF MEMBERSHIP

The best thing about being a member of the BSME is the chance to meet frequently with editors from so many other top digital and print publications. As well as our annual summer party we host other events, including talks from industry experts, so members can network in some of London’s most exciting venues or online, and hear from some of the best editors in the world on diverse subjects. You can view our recent events here.

BSME members can also apply for a Press Card through the Society. To apply for a BSME Press Card, please email admin@bsme.com.
