The IPA, like the entire publishing community around the world, reacted with a combination shock and disgust at the news of the brutal attack on Salman Rushdie at the Chautauqua Institution in New York last Friday.
A crucial part of IPA's mission is to inform member associations and the wider global publishing community about breaking developments which will impact publishers. We do this through a number of channels. the IPA website, our monthly e-newsletter, press releases and the IPA's dedicated social media feeds.
Latest annual report gathers data from publishers associations, legal deposits, Nielsen Bookscan data, the ISBN Agency and the Web of Science. This is the 5th edition of the report and represents progress in data collection, both in terms of country coverage and data quality.
At the beginning of July, IPA representatives — including IPA President, Bodour Al Qasimi, Chair of the Educational Publishers Forum, Stephan de Valk, and Secretary General José Borghino — participated in a series of events scheduled in and around the 26th São Paulo Book Fair or ‘Bienal’.
The Turkish Publishing Assembly is held every two years since 2004 by the Turkish Publishers Association (TPA) in order to closely follow the developments in publishing, to discuss the problems of the sector with national and international stakeholders and to find solutions. 10th Turkish Publishing Assembly was held online on 15-16 June 2022 this year.
