A new report from the Newspaper Society was condemned on Tuesday (30 October) by Tesco as “wrong and out of date”.
It proposes that Tesco is involved in plans for a National System for Magazines with WH Smith. This is not true.
Tesco is working actively with the Periodical Publishers Association, (PPA) to establish consensus for an all industry way forward. A solution that is focussed on bringing improvements for customers.
Commenting, Tesco Corporate Affairs Director, Lucy Neville-Rolfe said “The Newspaper Society report is very misleading. We are working hard with the industry not against it.”
