The BSME has launched an initiative with Readly. BSME Education in association with Readly will see top editors and magazine experts working with education centres, including schools, colleges, and universities through lectures, webinars, mentorship sessions, and visits.

“Our aim is to build a working relationship with academia to offer an insight and access to the media industry – for those with an interest, and those who have still to discover their interest. We look forward to working with as many educational centres (and students) as we can,” said Maria Pieri, our 2020 Chair and Editorial Director of National Geographic Traveller (UK).

BSME Education in association with Readly will provide invaluable access to skilled individuals with practical knowledge of the industry, including established editors of publications like Digital Spy, Good Housekeeping, Grazia, Stella, Marketing Week, PULSE, Glamour, Car Magazine, ELLE (UK), Which?, the Rugby Journal, and The Week Junior.

Chris Couchman, Head of UK Content at Readly said: “Readly is excited to be collaborating with the BSME to support the next generation of editors and journalists. Putting back into the Readly ecosystem is something we always look to do; this partnership does that by promoting diversity, supporting trusted content, and making the magazine industry accessible to all.”
