The Fed’s National President Narinder Randhawa said: “This is more welcome news, following last week’s confirmation from DMG Media and Reach that retailers’ terms are being maintained for their titles.
“It’s pleasing to see that the majority of publishers recognise the vital role that retailers have in the news chain and that their profits should be maintained accordingly.”
In a letter to retailers, the i publisher said: “Both i and iweekend have seen solid growth in market share over the last five years and we are grateful for the role you have played in helping us achieve this. Thank you for your contribution towards i’s continued success.”
