tooo funny...*OBITUARY*
Editor & Publisher (1901-2009)
Editor & Publisher died today, after a length illness. Reportedly, the self described “America’s Oldest Journal Covering the Newspaper Industry” succumbed to ink poisoning.
A 2001 survey of 350 newpapers 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.
It’s last editor was Greg Mitchell.

Editor & Publisher’s Been Folded
After years of covering the death of newspapers, we here at Fitz & Jen got to experience it first-hand this morning. The Nielsen Company has made the decision to cease operations of E&P in its 125th year.
It’s early in this process, so it’s not clear yet whether there will be another print issue of magazine, or what will happen to the Fitz & Jen blog.
What we can say is that at least for some interim period Mark Fitzgerald and Jennifer Saba will continue to report on the business of newspapers. With luck it will be at this site.
I figured they would have choked on their own bile.
About Time, my friend. LOL

What're they going to do, now?
They could listen to Rush, I guess. LOL
"It’s last editor was Greg Mitchell."
I'll be watching for that name to pop up, again.
The quisling don't run "America’s Oldest Journal Covering the Newspaper Industry" into the ground, for nothing.
Promises were made, gifts exchanged, y'know? LOL
Your *first* obituary, abb.
You did good, real good; and, just as well.
I suspect you'll be mighty busy in the coming months writing these things and we all know how practice does make perfect. ;^)
