Editor and Publisher Magazine

Editor and Publisher Magazine, with business and editorial offices located in New York City, 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."

According to the "AbOUT Us" page on E&P's website, its history "begins in 1884, when The Journalist, a weekly, was founded. E&P was launched in 1901 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."

E&P was purchased in 1999 by BPI Communications, a division of VNU Business Media. VNU Media also publishes the following media-related magazines: Adweek, Mediaweek, Brandweek, Sales & Marketing Management, and DNonline.com. E&P switched from weekly to monthly publication in January 2004.

While GeneRally maintaining journalistic objectivity when covering the newspaper industry, E&P has been considered to represent the viewpoints and biases of newspaper owners, from private owners of single nwspapers to public corporations which own large chains of newspapers.

E&P's classified ads section has been considered the first place to go when looking for a newspaper job.
