Editorial The market for children’s books, trade books and magazines is dynamic and developing fast. That applies equally to the publishing business as such and to those who read books and magazines. For what interests readers reaches beyond the borders of their own country or culture. What is more, the interest in what is happening outside those borders, or in what other cultures have to offer, is growing. The world is a village, facilitated by the huge boost in the consumer applications of information technology. Information technology that offers readers and publishers alike new product and distribution opportunities. Those developments and changes are also discernible at the publishing companies of WPG Publishers. Our international orientation is stronger and we have websites as well as magazines and books – life without web-based publishing is impossible to imagine. Such changes also require new partnerships and business models. In that respect, our prominent position in the Dutch language market is an excellent basis. In the Netherlands and Flanders we are market leader in reading methods, and we are market leader in children’s books. Therefore children’s media is a spearhead as well. In addition, we reach with our magazines, websites and books for adults a highly diverse audience interested in literature and culture, in politics and society, in lifestyle and sport. And we operate in the customised publishing sector as well. In this brochure you will find information on all of the above. We are proud to present our portfolio of activities and publishers. Our financial independence gives us the scope to use our professional expertise and commitment to consolidate our positions, and build on the future together with our many colleagues worldwide.
