Editor & Publisher (E&P) is an American monthly trade news magazine covering the newspaper industry. Published since 1901, Editor & Publisher is the self-described "bible of the newspaper industry."[2][3]
Originally based in New York City,[3] the magazine's editorial offices are currently located in Fountain Valley, California; its business offices are in Lutz, Florida.
Publication history
editEditor & Publisher evolved from several publications, the oldest of which — the weekly The Journalist, the first successful American trade newspaper covering journalism[4] — had been founded in 1884.[1] Editor & Publisher itself was founded in 1901, and in 1907 it merged with The Journalist.[5][3]
E&P later acquired the trade journal Newspaperdom (established 1892), and in 1927 it merged with the trade paper The Fourth Estate.[6]
E&P published the long-awaited King–Crane Commission Report (officially called the 1919 Inter-Allied Commission on Mandates in Turkey) in its December 2, 1922 edition.
Editor & Publisher was acquired in 1999 by the Nielsen Company. Nielsen shut down E&P at the end of 2010,[1][7][8] but the magazine was revived when the Duncan McIntosh Company purchased it from Nielsen[6] and moved its offices to the Los Angeles area.[3]
In September 2019 Editor & Publisher was purchased by media consultant Mike Blinder's Curated Experiences Group.[3] Since taking over E&P, Blinder has expanded the E&P brand onto other platforms such as podcasting and voice, while delving into deeper issues regarding news publishing, including freedom of the press and the power of local journalism.[6]
Overview
edit
Editor & Publisher covers all aspects of the newspaper industry,[6] including data on newspaper circulation, job listings, and industry awards.[1] E&P has long been known for its extensive coverage of the comic strip syndication business.
Since 1996, E&P has presented the EPpy Awards, a premier accolade for media-affiliated websites.
For many years the company published the Editor & Publisher International Yearbook, as well as the Editor & Publisher DataBook.
The magazine's original tagline was "The newsmagazine of the fourth estate." Its current tagline is "Since 1884, THE authoritative voice of #NewsPublishing."[9]
