The MPA and Print NZ have contacted the Commerce Commission and various ministers requesting an enquiry into NZPost pricing

Following the Magazine Publishers Association’s 2025 Annual General Meeting, the MPA is pleased to confirm the appointment of a new Chair and the board members for the year ahead.

In 2019 John Wilpers was the international speaker at the MPA conference. At that time John was a publishing consultant and the co-editor of the FIPP Publishing Innovation booklet. He has now joined a new consulting practice called Katahdin and has made an offer exclusive to the NZ MPA for some one on one publisher consulting sessions. The initial consultation is at NO COST to MPA members.

The MPA is hosting a webinar where Tony Edwards from Ovato Retail, Bernie Roberts from Webstar and MPA board publishers will share thoughts and answer questions on the Covid crisis, the impact of the Bauer closure, and where to from here. Friday, April 17, from 10am. If you missed it get in touch for a link to the recording.

This special MPA workshop for Small Publishers explores the ups and downs of being small in the NZ magazine market, and is a great chance to network with publishers who are facing the same challenges as you. It’s open to all NZ publishers with three or fewer titles: entry is free if you’re an MPA member. Otherwise it’s $40 per head. We’d love to see you there.

Book now to make sure you don’t miss our next MPA networking session, where three mag experts share 10-minute insights on their 2019 successes and failures.
