The Directorate

We employ a mix of business models across our portfolio of products, from membership, subscriptions, advertising and sponsorship, ensuring that the portfolio remains fully aligned to the larger organisational mission and vision of the RPS.

The Team

The PJ team comprises two teams of editors; ‘News & Views’ and ‘Learning & CPD’. It also has its own production team (which includes the subeditor) and a product and sales team. Collectively, we produce a range of content types, including news, features, opinion, learning, CPD and research articles with daily deadlines.
