YEAAAAH! E&P was an integral part of the MSM liberal slime machine.
.... and right here before Christmas
Good news ping! Ding, Dong, E&P is dead!
Greg Mitchell, you are a POS!
E&P fails to report yet on its own obit.
Oh Wow.
The grass did seem a little greener this morning. Now I know why.
His comment:
“E&P folded?
This is NOT the handwriting on the wall. This is the thundering, rumbling sound the wrecking ball makes just before knocks the wall down!”

‘Editor & Publisher’ to Cease Publication After 125 Years
By Shawn Moynihan
Published: December 10, 2009 12:13 PM ET
NEW YORK Editor & Publisher, the bible of the newspaper industry and a journalism institution that traces its origins back to 1884, is ceasing publication.
An announcement, made by parent company The Nielsen Co., was made Thursday morning as staffers were informed that E&P, in both print and online, was shutting down.
The outpouring of surprise and strong support for E&P that has followed across the Web — Editor & Publisher has even hit #4 as a Twitter trending topic — raises the notion that the publication might yet continue in some form.
Nielsen Business Media, of which E&P was a part, has forged a deal with e5 Global Media Holdings, LLC, a new company formed jointly by Pluribus Capital Management and Guggenheim Partners, for the sale of eight brands in the Media and Entertainment Group, including E&P sister magazines Adweek, Brandweek, Mediaweek, Backstage, Billboard, Film Journal International and The Hollywood Reporter. E&P was not included in this transaction.
As news spread of E&P’s fate, the staff has been inundated with calls from members of the industry it covers, mostly expressing shock or disbelief. They will stay on for the remainder of 2009.
Greg Mitchell, editor since 2002, has hailed the staff and their accomplishments. Some staff writers/editors have been at E&P for a quarter of a century. “I’m shocked that a way was not found for the magazine to continue it some form — and remain hopeful that this may still occur,” he said.
Editor & Publisher was launched in 1901 but traces its history to 1884 — it merged with the magazine The Journalist, which had started on that earlier date.
Watch for updates.

I’m waiting eagerly to hear these newly-out-of-work leftists complain bitterly about life in ‘Amerikkka’ under the inept and oppressive Obama regime...
Taking their marbles and going away...after they have helped to destroy the playhouse? Watch for more rich liberals to start scrambling for their passports.
I realize they were a long time American Institution, yet they were infected with liberalism/socialism and were resistant to change. The great thing about reality is that it grinds those who oppose it into the dust.
The great thing about America is, we destroy our failures. Buggy whip manufacturers, inefficient car companies, unadaptive newspapers and magazines--they all fall down. Out of the dust and ashes we create new colossi, better than the past.

I’m going to miss their brain-dead op-eds on the old media malaise — the ones that never, never managed to raise the topic of leftist bias. Sic gloria transit...
E&P is dead!! Kirkus Reviews is dead... cool!!
Great news for Christmas
when a rabid leftist twit like Greg Mitchell is out of work, that’s a benefit to civilization
but I’d bet large sums that he will quickly “land on his feet” with a cushy salary in academia, where he will propagandize so-called “journalism” students for the rest of his days...... I’m sure that Columbia J-School can find a place for him
Editor & Publisher was a former trade journal that later turned into a useless political soap box.
It’s good to see Editor & Publisher go.
