While this makes me sad in a kind of general way, the truth is that E&P was a terrible magazine - dense and nearly unreadable in most respects. All I ever used it for was the classified ads and I have an unbroken 20 year record of failing to get any of the jobs I applied for in those pages.

It certainly was aimed more at publishers than editors. I always suspected Tony Ridder spanked it to a copy of E&P before laying off another dozen or so reporters to maintain his 20% profit margin.

Yes, it was heavily business oriented, which I guess is why I was less than transfixed compared with AJR or CJR. But it did have good classified ads, even if the rat bastards never gave me my dream job.
