"The editorial staff of
Editor & Publisher has been eliminated by its new owners, Duncan McIntosh Co. inc. Top editor Mark Fitzgerald and tech editor Jim Rosenberg also were axed. The new
editor works for owner Duncan McIntosh who took over in January-his other titles, based in Irving, Ca., are boating and fishing magazines. The Nielsen Co. had shuttered the magazine last December.
The once-vital E&P site was only a "shadow" of its former self. Ads largely disappeared. The magazine's top writer, Jennifer Saba, left months ago for Reuters and was never replaced. Instead, per
the Maynard Institute, McIntosh has brought in employees from elsewhere in his business: "Jeff Fleming has assumed the position
of editor in chief of the magazine, Kristina Ackermann has taken on the duties of managing editor and Deena Nenad has become associate editor."
McIntosh said in his memo: "Editor &
Publisher magazine will be utilizing more individuals for the print edition who are experts in their individual fields as opposed to reporters who track down experts and put the expert's story into
the writer's words."
