By: E&P Staff An exciting new era for
Editor & Publisher will begin in January. The magazine will expand its print coverage, while shifting from weekly to monthly publication, and significantly enhance its increasingly popular Web site, E&P Online.
In all,
E&P will provide readers with over 50% more news coverage and analysis of the newspaper industry, according to Editor Greg Mitchell.
"This shift will enable us to keep pace with the changes in the news industry which, thanks to the Internet, wants information now, not next week," said Michael E. Parker, president of the Marketing/Media & Arts Group of
E&P parent VNU. "
E&P, essentially, will be changing to an hourly frequency while maintaining its award-winning print presence."
Longtime
E&P editors Dave Astor, Mark Fitzgerald, Greg Mitchell, Lucia Moses, Jim Rosenberg, Joe Strupp, Carl Sullivan, and others will continue to provide top news and analysis.
The enlarged print edition of
E&P will focus on industry trends, commentary and feature profiles, while news stories and other timely reports will be posted on
E&P's Web site as they happen. The redesigned Web site, which has enjoyed a tremendous surge in traffic in the past year, will feature separate areas for stories focusing on the newsroom, corporate affairs, technology, advertising and circulation, syndicates, and online journalism.
"For almost 120 years,
E&P has mirrored the market it covers," Parker said. "Delivering timely news and topical information online, coupled with comprehensive analysis and perspective in print, offers readers the flexibility to access all the news, all the time."
Earlier this year,
Editor & Publisher was awarded a pair of Jesse H. Neal Awards, the top honor in business trade journalism. It will continue to publish as a weekly magazine through December.
