The Winter 2023 magazine was the 12th and final print edition of the quarterly supplement to Pulse and it has now moved to a fully digital format to recognise the changing media landscape and to provide stories in a more timely way.
This new Pulse PCN microsite was launched in November 2023 and allows readers to see all our bespoke content in a fresh, clear and accessible way.
In February 2022, Pulse PCN won the ‘Launch of the Year’ category at the prestigious British Society of Magazine Editors (BSME) awards. The judges commended the Pulse PCN team for identifying a ‘genuine need in their audience’ and getting them ‘involved in shaping and providing content from the outset’.
Pulse PCN was launched following an in-depth report from Cogora on the first 18 months of networks operation.
