Editor & Publisher
Editor & Publisher (E&P) is an American monthly trade news magazine covering the news media industry. Published since 1901, Editor & Publisher is the self-described "bible of the newspaper industry,"[1][2] with offices in Hendersonville, TN.[3] OverviewEditor & Publisher (E&P) covers all aspects of the news media industry.[4] The magazine's original tagline was "The newsmagazine of the fourth estate." As of 2022, E&P's tagline is "The Authoritative Voice of #NewsMedia Since 1884".[3] Today E&P still publishes a monthly print magazine that is mailed to over 5,000 news publishing executives and distributed at yearly news media events. E&P presents the annual EPpy Awards for excellence in digital publishing.[3] History Editor & Publisher evolved from several publications, the oldest of which — the weekly The Journalist, the first successful American trade newspaper covering journalism[5] — had been founded in 1884.[6] The Editor & Publisher: A Journal for Newspaper Makers[7] itself was founded in 1901, and in 1907 it merged with The Journalist.[8][2] E&P later acquired the trade journal Newspaperdom (established 1892), and in 1927 it merged with the trade paper The Fourth Estate.[4] 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.[9] From 1990 to 2010, Editor and Publisher produced the Interactive Newspapers Conference (which changed its name to the Interactive Media Conference & Trade Show in the year 2000). MediaWeek joined as a co-sponsor in 2003.[10] The annual conference was held in various locations around the United States, frequently in New Orleans and Las Vegas. Since 1996, E&P has presented the EPPY Awards, an award for media-affiliated websites. The EPPYS were presented at the Interactive Media Conference until 2011 when they went fully online.[11] For many years the company published the Editor & Publisher International Yearbook. It still publishes the annual Editor & Publisher DataBook and this data is also available on the website.[12] Editor & Publisher was acquired in 1999 by the Nielsen Company.[13] Nielsen shut down E&P at the end of 2010,[6][14][15] but the magazine was revived when the Duncan McIntosh Company purchased it from Nielsen[4] and moved its offices to the Los Angeles area.[2] In September 2019 Editor & Publisher was purchased by[16] Curated Experiences Group.[2] In October 2020, Editor & Publisher partnered with Poynter Institute and America's Newspapers to launch the Media Job Board, a journalism and media job listings website.[17] In January 2021, the magazine donated their digitized "back issues" to Internet Archive where now hundreds of issues of E&P published since 1901 are available for free.[18] See also
