AGP Executive Report
Last update: 3 hours agoUK publishing & AI regulation: The UK competition watchdog has pushed Google to give publishers real control over AI search summaries, including opt-outs from AI scraping/training—another big step in the ongoing fight over who gets paid when tech uses news content. Book trade & access: Independent bookshops are under pressure abroad too, with Australia seeing a sharp decline and more closures, a reminder of how fragile the high-street book ecosystem can be. Local community books: A free community showcase is coming to Bicester Methodist Church, with books and a jigsaw sale among the activities. New releases & reading culture: A new M.A.S.K. comic launch is set to expand Skybound/Image Comics’ Energon Universe, while a revived early-1900s novel reappears in print under a more familiar film-linked title. History & books: A new multi-volume World Cup history project, Glittering Prize, aims to turn tournament lore into a readable, accessible sweep from the start to today.
