What is the European Publishers Council?

The European Publishers Council (EPC) is a high-level group composed of the chairpersons and CEOs of leading media groups in Europe, representing companies active in the fields of news media, television, radio, digital markets, journals, e-learning, databases, and books.

Since 1991, we have been communicating with European legislators on issues affecting the health and survival of EU news media and publishing companies that support freedom of speech, media diversity, and democratic debate.

The digital transformation is delivering future successful publishers and broadcasters to the entire European Union. Our members have embraced the transition from printing and simulation to digital, establishing highly diversified companies that fully utilize all the advantages provided by digital technology. Combining innovation and leadership to build transformative publishing and media platforms that provide news, perspectives, information, sports, and entertainment. Revenue from subscriptions, digital marketplaces, and advertising supports our investments in news and entertainment to achieve sustainable development of independent media in Europe.

The news media sector is diverse and highly ethical, serving as a pillar of democracy and a highly innovative and change embracing department; Its core is integrity and independence. EPC members have shown optimism about their position in society, and the values of freedom and independence in the media continue to be the driving force behind today's media business leaders.
