Editor & Publisher (E&P) is a monthly journal covering the North American newspaper industry. It is based in New York City. E&P calls itself "America's Oldest Journal Covering the Newspaper Industry" and describes itself on its website as "the authoritative journal covering all aspects of the North American newspaper industry, including business, newsroom, advertising, circulation, marketing, technology, online and Syndicates".[citation needed]
On December 10, 2009, the magazine's owners announced that the magazine will cease operations after 108 years of publication.[1]
E&P's website is updated daily with breaking news. Since 2002, the E&P has been edited by Greg Mitchell, who also writes a print and Web column. Online editor is Jay Defoore. In recent years the magazine has won numerous national awards, including several for its stories on coverage of the Iraq war.
The journal dates back to 1884, when The Journalist, a weekly, was founded. E&P was founded seventeen years later, in 1901, and merged with The Journalist in 1907. E&P later acquired Newspaperdom, a trade journal for the newspaper industry that started in 1892. In 1927, E&P merged with another trade paper, The Fourth Estate".[2] E&P was edited by Robert U. Brown from 1953 to 1999.[3]
E&P was purchased in 1999 by BPI Communications, a division of VNU Business Media. Since 1999 it has been owned by VNU, which also publishes Billboard, Adweek, Mediaweek, The Hollywood Reporter, Photo District News, and many other business-to-business magazines.[2]
A 2001 survey of 350 newspapers in six states indicated that copy editors and their supervisors were more likely to read E&P than any other magazine in the journalistic trade press, with 80.6% of copy editors and 90.6% of supervisors reporting that they read it either regularly or occasionally.[4]
In December 2009, unable to find a buyer, owner Nielsen Co. decided to shutter the 125 year-old publication. Website went offline on Friday 11th of December 2009.
