On Covering the Newspaper Business

December 10, 2009

One theme touched on in my interview with E&P’s Greg Mitchell today is, with the upcoming closure of that publication, who will cover the newspaper business.

Chuck Moozakis, editor in chief of Newspapers & Technology, saw the interview and passed along these thoughts:

Just want to let you know that we intend to continue covering the industry, just as we have since 1988. It’s definitely a sad day to see an institution like E&P close its doors, but the production and operations people who work hard every day to produce today’s newspapers know that we will continue to do our job to help them more efficiently perform theirs.
