PRWeek is a trade magazine and news website for the public relations and wider communications industry. It is published by Haymarket Media Group.[1][2][3][4]

History

PRWeek was originally launched as a private venture in 1984 and was acquired by the larger publishing company, Haymarket Media Group, in 1988.[5][6] The original UK edition was founded by Geoffrey Lace and Lord Chadlington in the 1980s.[1] PRWeek was later sold to Lace's former employers, Haymarket, the publishing group founded by Lord Heseltine, a cabinet minister in the governments of Margaret Thatcher and John Major.[1] A US edition of the publication launched in 1998.[7]

In 2009, PRWeek US changed from a weekly to a monthly publication due to declining print advertising and a shift to online readership. Despite the reduced frequency, the magazine kept its name for brand recognition. The new format featured longer articles and introduced a paid subscription model for online content, while maintaining the same annual price.[8] In 2013, the UK print edition of PRWeek also changed from a weekly to a monthly edition.[9]

Awards and rankings

PRWeek produces regular research about the UK public relations industry, including the annual ranking of Top 150 PR consultancies.[10] PRWeek organises industry awards, referred to by the Financial Times as the "highest honours in communications and PR".[11][12][13]
