As The Worshipful Company of Stationers and Newspaper Makers celebrates the 450th anniversary of the granting of its Charter it is also making the next symbolic step forward in its long history.
From the time when the Stationers sold writing equipment and read and wrote letters, the Company has embraced each new stage of technology and the books, newspapers and magazines that technology has enabled. As communication becomes increasingly interactive our Company will embrace the new digital media generation of interactive communicators.
