E&P finds New Owner, Shifts Focus

Editor & Publisher, pronounced dead just a week ago after a 125 year run, is back. Emphasis is shifting from newsroom/editorial to technology/business.

Cue the punch lines: The owner of a publication called FishRap has resuscitated Editor & Publisher, the magazine devoted to covering the newspaper industry. But the new Editor & Publisher returned to life late on Thursday, two weeks after it shut down, without two of its stalwarts....Mr. McIntosh said in an interview that he wanted to shift Editor & Publisher’s focus toward the business and technology of the industry, with less emphasis on what happens in newsrooms.
