Editor & Publisher Renews Publication

The 126-year-old newspaper industry bible Editor & Publisher is back in business. The venerable operation was purchased from Nielsen by boating magazine and newspaper operator Duncan McIntosh Co. Charles McKeown will continue as E&P's publisher. Mark Fitzgerald, a recent former Editor-At-Large with the publication, is E&P's new editor. The web site started putting articles up when the deal closed Thursday, and a February print issue is planned.

Although I found the article at E&P's own site linked-to above fairly self-congratulatory and largely devoid of practical detail, I'm happy to have any magazine back with its particular focus and E&P has long been an industry lion. E&P was covering the syndicated comics business in a modern, thorough, publication-of-record way back when the bulk of the comics press was trying to figure out up from down -- and covered it long before that generally besides. One of the alarming things about Nielsen's decision to close E&P was the thought that there was still interest in the publication from both readers and advertisers in the publication; another was that there was really nothing ready resources-wise to take its place.
