Editor and Publisher

''Editor & Publisher'' (''E&P'') is an American monthly trade news magazine covering the news media industry. Published since 1901, ''Editor & Publisher'' is the self-described "bible of the newspaper industry," with offices in Hendersonville, TN.

Overview

''Editor & Publisher (E&P)'' covers all aspects of the news media industry. The magazine's original tagline was "The newsmagazine of the fourth estate." As of 2022, E&P's tagline is "The Authoritative Voice of #NewsMedia Since 1884".

Today E&P still publishes a monthly print magazine that is mailed to over 5,000 news publishing executives and distributed at yearly news media events.

History

''Editor & Publisher'' evolved from several publications, the oldest of which — the weekly '' The Journalist'', the first successful American trade newspaper covering journalismWho Started the Journalist?

''E&P'' published the long-awaited King–Crane Commission Report (officially called the 1919 Inter-Allied Commission on Mandates in Turkey) in its December 2, 1922 edition.

From 1990 to 2010, ''Editor and Publisher'' produced the Interactive Newspapers Conference (which changed its name to the Interactive Media Conference & Trade Show in the year 2000). ''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.
