- Periodical Publishers Association
The Periodical Publishers Association (PPA) is a publishing industry body which promotes the interests of companies involved in the production of consumer, customer and business media in the United Kingdom. The PPA aims to promote and protect the interests of magazine and business media publishers, and to maintain professional publishing standards. The PPA has branches in Scotland and one Ireland to cater more specifically for businesses in those areas. The PPA hold annual awards to recognise the work of their members.
In 2008, the PPA sponsored a contest, "The Great Cover Debate", to determine the best British magazine covers of all time. [cite web |url=http://www.magazineweek.net/cover-debate/ |title=The Great Cover Debate |accessdate=2008-10-01 |work=Magazine Week |publisher=Periodical Publishers Association] The entrants were chosen by magazine editors, and a shortlist of 16 covers was selected by an industry panel. In a public Internet vote, a "Radio Times" cover from May 2005, depicting Daleks crossing Westminster Bridge, was chosen as the best cover.
