I can’t believe it. Well, I can believe it, but it’s still a little shocking that Editor and Publisher is going to cease publishing at the end of the year. They’ve been going for 125 years.
The E&P Web site is cranking 100,000 uniques a month. That’s not a ton of traffic, but for a niche industry Web site, that’s pretty good. I can’t believe that the Nielsen Co. can’t figure out how to make some money with that traffic. My guess is that they can, but for Nielson Co. it’s small potatoes and not worth it.
And so the fracturing of the publishing industry continues. It’s really rough right now being a journalist, but I think things will shake out in a couple of years and we’ll all be better off. I just wish food wasn’t so expensive.
Oh well, good luck E&P staffers, you did good work and you’ll be missed.
