History
Editor & Publisher evolved from several publications, the oldest of which — the weekly The Journalist, the first successful American trade newspaper covering journalism — had been founded in 1884. The Editor & Publisher: A Journal for Newspaper Makers itself was founded in 1901, and in 1907 it merged with The Journalist. E&P later acquired the trade journal Newspaperdom, and in 1927 it merged with the trade paper The Fourth Estate.E&P published the long-awaited King–Crane Commission Report in its December 2, 1922 edition.
From 1990 to 2010, Editor and Publisher produced the Interactive Newspapers Conference. MediaWeek joined as a co-sponsor in 2003. The annual conference was held in various locations around the United States, frequently in New Orleans and Las Vegas. Since 1996, E&P has presented the EPPY Awards, an award for media-affiliated websites. The EPPYS were presented at the Interactive Media Conference until 2011 when they went fully online.
For many years the company published the Editor & Publisher International Yearbook. It still publishes the annual Editor & Publisher DataBook and this data is also available on the website.
Editor & Publisher was acquired in 1999 by the Nielsen Company. Nielsen shut down E&P at the end of 2010, but the magazine was revived when the Duncan McIntosh Company purchased it from Nielsen.
In September 2019 Editor & Publisher was purchased by Curated Experiences Group owned by Mike Blinder, experienced media consultant.
In October 2020, Editor & Publisher partnered with Poynter Institute and America's Newspapers to launch the Media Job Board, a journalism and media job listings website.
In January 2021, the magazine donated their digitized "back issues" to Internet Archive where now hundreds of issues of E&P published since 1901 are available for free.
