Veteran media commentator Steve Allen is to give the keynote speech at Publishers Australia’s first Magazine Week, which kicks off on November 7.

The week, which is also being backed by Magazine Publishers of Australia, features a publishing workshop spanning the week, a two day conference, and culminates in the Publishers Australia Excellence awards.

PA represents Australia’s smaller magazine companies, while the MPA, which has been mostly dormant for the last couple of years, represents the bigger players including Pacific Magazines and ACP Magazines.

As well as Allen, who gives the keynote on the Thursday morning, speakers at the conference include Marie Claire editor-in-chief Jackie Frank, NineMSN’s head of mobile audience Rebecca Haasma, ACP MD Phil Scott and Amanda Gome, CEO of Crikey publisher Private Media.
