Editor & Publisher

"Editor & Publisher" (E&P) is a monthly journal covering the North American newspaper industry. It is based in New York City. E&P calls itself "America's Oldest Journal Covering the Newspaper Industry" and describes itself on its website as "the authoritative journal covering all aspects of the North American newspaper industry, including business, newsroom, advertising, circulation, marketing, technology, online and syndicates."

E&P's website is updated daily with breaking news. The E&P editor since 2002 is Greg Mitchell, who also writes a print and Web column. Online editor is Jay Defoore. In recent years the magazine has won numerous national awards, including several for its stories on coverage of the Iraq war.

The journal dates back to 1884, when "The Journalist", a weekly, was founded. "E&P" was founded 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."
