History

Editor & Publisher traces its beginnings back to 1884, when The Journalist, its weekly predecessor, was founded. Editor & Publisher was born 17 years later and merged with The Journalist in 1907. E&P later acquired Newspaperdom, a trade journal for the newspaper industry that started in 1892. In 1927, E&P merged with another trade paper, The Fourth Estate.[3] E&P was edited by Robert U. Brown from 1953 to 1999.[4]

E&P was purchased in 1999 by VNU Business Media, later renamed the Nielsen Company, which also published Billboard, Adweek, Mediaweek, The Hollywood Reporter and many other business-to-business magazines.[3]

A 2001 survey of 350 newspapers 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.[5]

In December 2009, unable to find a buyer, owner Nielsen Co. decided to shutter the 125-year-old publication in January 2010.[6][7] On January 14, 2010, however, the Duncan McIntosh Company[8] (Irvine, California), publisher of Boating World,[9] Sea Magazine[10] and The Log[11] newspaper, announced its purchase of Editor & Publisher.[12][13] Greg Mitchell was replaced by Mark Fitzgerald, the journal's editor-at-large, and staffer Joe Strupp was also eliminated.

In October 2010, Mark Fitzgerald, Shawn Moynihan and Jim Rosenberg were laid off and replaced with employees from elsewhere in Duncan McIntosh Co.[14]

In August 2019, Duncan Macintosh Company sold the publication to a Delaware based Limited Liability Corporation(LLC) named The Curated Experiences Group, who appointed Mike Blinder[15], a veteran newspaper consultant, as the new Publisher of the magazine[16]. Nu Yang, E&P's Managing Editor under the Duncan Macintosh Company was elevated to the role of Editor in Chief by Blinder in September of 2019.
