I began reading Editor & Publisher in 1974, and remember wondering how a publication about the newspaper business could be designed so poorly and look so clunky.
Nevertheless, it was where I turned whenever I was looking for work or news about what was going on in the trade. I often turned to the E&P Yearbook, too, when I needed to contact a fellow reporter in a distant city where there might be an angle on one of my stories.
I don’t know what to think, then, when I read that E&P is going out of business.

Live or die, E&P will always stir gratitude in my heart. It was an ad for a state Capitol reporter being sought somewhere in “Zone 3″ (I think) that — against all odds — paid off with the job that brought me to Connecticut about the time Ella Grasso was being memorialized and arguments over the state income tax were heating up.
