What's new?

Ad blocking has been a hot topic in the publishing industry following the launch of some popular online blocking tools on mobiles, and Apple's decision to allow blockers on Safari.

More than 70 publishers and editors joined Page Lizard's 2025: Visions for the Future of Publishing event last night to face some of the challenges the next ten years brings. The threats identified ranged from the accelerating speed of change, to ad blockers, the rise of Facebook as a publisher and the challenge of converting the millennial generation to be paying consumers.

Installer has re-launched its magazine app with Page Lizard, bringing it up to date with fully-responsive HTML articles, personalisation and other features.

For 20 years, Installer has been the must-read magazine for plumbing, heating and renewables professionals, and prides itself on providing the latest news, product and training information to the industry.
