News Industry
Welcome to the home page for the Association of News Retailing (ANR). ANR is at the heart of industry talks seeking a fairer deal for news retailers, who have seen their margin decline and their carriage charges increase over recent years. ANR also carry out best practice work to drive standards in news and magazine retailing.
ANR was set up in 2001 to fight for retailers in the news industry, with the aim to see real change in the news industry, and real choice for retailers to allow them to take control of the category. These aims hold true today.
Tomorrow's NEWS
ANR has published a groundbreaking report that aims to help retailers of all kinds come to terms with changes in the news industry.
The report, entitled “Tomorrow’s NEWS” explains:
- the structure of the news & magazine supply chain;
- the potential scenarios arising from the OFT’s current deliberations on the news industry; and
- the options available for retailers to develop their news business in the light of possible changes.
Lad's Mags Best Practice
ANR would like to remind its members of the potential offence caused to certain shoppers by inappropriate display of “lads mags” with front covers or content that may cause offence.
These titles are not Top Shelf titles, however we do urge members to be sensitive to the concerns of consumers, particularly in relation to the display of titles with front covers and/or content that may be inappropriate to display at a young person’s eye-level or below.
