This section includes the production and publishing, broadcasting and other distribution of information products.

This section includes: book, newspaper, periodical and software publishing activities (division 58); the production of motion picture, video and television programme elements , sound recording and music publishing activities (division 59); radio and television broadcasting as well as television or radio programme production and distribution activities, including the operation of streaming, downloads and content distribution (sharing) platforms not associated with publishing of the content, the operation of blogs and wiki sites, social network sites and online gaming / video game sites (division 60).

Publishing refers to the acquisition of copyrights to content (information products) and making this content available to the general public by engaging in (or arranging for) the reproduction and distribution of this content in various forms. Publishers may solely publish and then license rights to others to distribute their content, or they may publish and distribute content they create or own. All the feasible forms of publishing (in print, electronic, digital, analogue, or any other form) and self-publishing activities are included in this section.

Individual television programming components (for example, movies, television series) are produced by activities in division 59, while the creation of a complete programme for a television channel, from components produced in division 59 or other components (for example, live news programming), is included in division 60. Division 60 also includes the broadcasting of this programme by the producer.
This section also includes:
- the creation and leasing of copyrights for published content
This section excludes:
- wholesale and retail sale of recorded media, see section G
- the activities of providing telecommunication and related service activities, i.e. transmitting voice, data, text, sound and video, computer programming activities, computing infrastructure and hosting activities, and web search portals, see section K

This section includes activities of a governmental nature, normally carried out by the public
administration. This includes the enactment and judicial interpretation of laws and their pursuant regulation, as well as the administration of programmes based on them, legislative activities, taxation, national defence, public order and safety, immigration services, foreign affairs and the administration of government programmes.

The legal or institutional status is not, in itself, the determining factor for an activity to belong in this section, rather than the activity being of a nature specified in the previous paragraph. This means that activities classified elsewhere in NACE do not fall under this section, even if carried out by public entities (for example, the administration of the school system in other words, regulations, checks, curricula falls under this section, but teaching itself does not (see section Q), while a prison or military hospital is classified to health (see section R)). Similarly, some activities described in this section may be carried out by non-government units.
This section also includes compulsory social security activities.

This section includes a wide range of activities to meet varied cultural, sports and recreational interests of their customers, including live performances, entertainment, the operation of cultural and natural heritage sites, and gambling.
This section also includes services that facilitate entertainment events and live performances.
