Editor & Publisher, a leading media industry news source, has returned under new ownership after being closed by Nielsen in December. Duncan McIntosh Co. Inc. now owns E&P. Charles McKeown will continue as publisher and Mark Fitzgerald is E&P's new editor.
Charles "Chas" McKeown, who will continue as publisher of E&P, hailed
the sale and the speed and professionalism with which McIntosh and
Nielsen completed the transaction. "Everyone knew what was at stake
here," McKeown said. "Newspapers, which are transforming beyond the
printed page to all forms of digital media, simply could not lose the
one place where the industry could have a conversation with itself and
exchange ideas and best practices for navigating the uncertain waters
ahead, exemplified by our Interactive Media Conference which includes
cable, TV, radio and other media."
Duncan McIntosh Co. Inc. is the publisher of several well-respected
boating magazines and newspapers, including Boating World magazine; Sea Magazine, America's Western Boating Magazine; The Log Newspaper; and FishRap. The company also produces the Newport Boat Show in the spring and the Lido Yacht Expo in the fall. Both shows are held in California.
Mark Fitzgerald, a 26-year veteran, was named as E&P's new editor. He had most recently served as E&P's editor-at-large.
Duncan McIntosh said he knew right away he wanted to buy E&P and keep it running. McIntosh said, "Such a critical information source for a newspaper industry so desperately in need of help should not go away. I've
been a reader of E&P over the course of 30 years and know its incredible value to readers and advertisers."
