Last month, IAB UK’s Policy Team hosted an event at Reach’s printworks in Manchester focused on how digital advertising can further support SMEs and regional journalism around the UK. The occasion brought together MPs, small business owners, local press and IAB members and marked the culmination of a nationwide roadshow of roundtables where we have heard from local leaders about how the digital ecosystem is benefiting communities - and what more can be done to maximise this.
Lucy Powell (MP for Manchester Central and Leader of the House of Commons) and Sarah Lester (Editor of the Manchester Evening News) both spoke at the event and, in this special episode of The IAB UK Podcast, they sit down with Sinead Coogan Jobes (Head of Policy & Public Affairs at IAB UK) to share their thoughts on the role of the regional press in a digital-first landscape, what it has to offer advertisers, and how further growth can be unlocked.
The findings from the IAB’s roadshow and the recommendations we’re making to Government off the back of it are laid out in our latest report ‘Powering Up 2025’, available here: https://www.iabuk.com/news-article/powering-2025-recommendations-help-smes-unlock-power-digital

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
