A publication or service may provide reports on such a wide range of matters that it is not possible to say that it has any purpose other than to provide coverage of a wide range of matters. Alternatively, it may be clear that the principal purpose of a publication or service is something other than those specified in the article 54 exclusion. Examples of cases where, in the FSA's

The FSA takes the view that the person who caused the website to be created will be a communicator. So, any software engineers that may or may not have been involved
PERG 8.22.3GRP
