Editor & Publisher: End of an Era

Link to December 10 Editor & Publisher post, "'Editor and Publisher' to Cease Publication After 125 Years".

Excerpt: Editor & Publisher, the bible of the newspaper industry and a journalism institution that traces its origins back to 1884, is ceasing publication.

An announcement, made by parent company The Nielsen Co., was made Thursday morning as staffers were informed that E&P, in both print and online, was shutting down.

The expressions of surprise and outpouring of strong support for E&P that have followed across the Web -- Editor & Publisher has even hit No. 4 as a Twitter trending topic -- raise the notion that the publication might yet continue in some form.


The only good news, I suppose, is that it might be one less RSS feed.
