Message from Chairman

It is with great pleasure that I announce SOPA’s 30th anniversary in 2012. In my second year as the Chairman for SOPA, it is with even greater excitement that we move into the new year with renewed plans for SOPA.

In recent years, the emergence of the digital and online media has brought about significant changes to the publishing industry. On the one hand, these technological developments have made information more readily available and quicker regardless of geographic location, time zone and language, but while these tie in with the ultimate aim of the publishing industry, it also falls to the industry to provide accurate information and to ensure that what is being reported is true, reliable and relevant.
