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.
At this exclusive BSME event, we will hear from the editors and journalists who helped to expose the Post Office about how and why a magazine mentality can sometimes be the best way to investigate a story — and get to the truth.
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?
Thank you to everyone who joined us and the TikTok UK team at the London Kaleidoscope office.

It was an inspiring and thought-provoking discussion about the challenges women face in the workplace. Thank you to Andrea Thompson, Busola Evans, Eleanor Mills and Terri White who joined us to ensure the media remains an inclusive place where women’s voices are heard.

We are still on such a high after the BSME Awards event earlier this week. Thank you so much to everyone who joined us at the beautiful Pan Pacific Hotel, where we enjoyed a fabulous evening with Stephen Mangan and BSME chair Tim Pollard as they dished out 28 awards to our amazing winners.
BSME vice chair and editor of Pulse, Jamie Kaffash, spoke to Rachel Oldroyd, recent editor of The Bureau of Investigative Journalism, Harry Rose, editor of Which? and Peter Apps, news editor at Inside Housing, about producing great investigative journalism, its essential role in society, avoiding the pitfalls and how it can benefit your magazines and brands.
From standing out in the endless scroll of social media to giving something special to a core subscriber base, designing a cover has never been more complex. So BSME committee member Hattie Brett quizzed some of the industry’s best creatives to ask what makes a great cover today.
We loved our return of IRL events at The Publishing Show last week, where BSME committee member Andrea Thompson chaired a lively panel on The Future of Diversity & Inclusion in the Media.
