    Default Editor & Publisher to cease publication

    “I am indeed well aware of the history of Conventional [sic] Hall, both globally and locally, and can assure you that we are carefully exploring avenues for its future.” -- Penn President Amy Gutmann 5 days before demolition began.

    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.
    Owl looked at Rabbit and wondered whether to push him off the tree, but feeling that he could always do it afterward, he tried once more to find out what they were talking about.

    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.
