The Bankside Hotel was buzzing on Tuesday night as seven titans of the UK magazine industry gathered to discuss the art, craft and business of making killer covers. The BSME’s The Cover is Now! event is one of the most hotly anticipated in its annual calendar.

2024 is the year of elections but how is the role of trusted journalism changing in an increasingly polarised world where social media is dominant and misinformation is rife?

Winning a BSME Award can be a highlight of your journalistic career, but it requires skill to craft a winning entry that will impress the most demanding of judges - your editorial peers.

Britain’s rising editorial stars were crowned last night at the BSME Talent Awards 2024. The annual ceremony for up-and-coming talent in the magazine and digital publishing industry was held by the British Society of Magazine Editors at 100 Wardour Street, London.

Subscriptions are growing in importance for magazine brands because they generate predictable, recurring revenue that can be reinvested in trusted journalism.

Few editors have made more impact than Edward Enninful during his unmatched career - from i-D and W Magazine, to most recently being editor-in-chief of British Vogue. He is a “visionary” and “trailblazer” who has “led a transformative era”, as the judges of the BSME Awards put it when they gave him the Mark Boxer award for his outstanding contribution to magazine journalism last year.

The Post Office scandal has been described as one of the worst miscarriages in British legal history and magazine journalism played a key role in revealing it.

The mass adoption of generative AI consumer products such as ChatGPT and Midjourney, could have a significant impact on a wide range of industries, including the magazine sector.

Britain’s best editors, art directors and columnists were crowned last night at the prestigious BSME Awards 2023. The Oscars of the magazine world was held by the British Society of Magazine Editors in the beautiful Ballroom at Rosewood London.

The past two years has seen more discussion about diversity and inclusion than ever before, but just how much progress has been made in making our industry more representative of the country we live in when it comes to race.

When just 0.5% of the UK population identify as trans, why are some in the media so disproportionately obsessed with trans lives, rights… and which bathroom they use? At a time when everybody seems to be voicing an opinion, how often do magazine editors get to engage with trans people and hear about their lived experiences?

The BSME hosted a special lunch this week with publishing legend Dame Anna Wintour, the editor-in-chief of American Vogue and perhaps the most famous magazine editor of our times.

What an incredible night - where should we even start? A massive congratulations to all shortlisted, highly commended and our winners! We are so honoured to celebrate the best of the best in our industry and to champion editorial excellence and innovation across digital and print in the UK.
