Editor & Publisher, the trade magazine that covers the beleaguered newspaper industry, found itself making news yesterday after its three top editors were fired via email.


Editor Mark Fitzgerald, a 26-year veteran of E & P, along with Managing Editor Shawn Moynihan and Senior Editor Jim Rosenberg were shown the door by E & P owner Duncan McIntosh, which purchased the magazine in January 2010.  The new owner wants to take the publication in a new direction, which may be downhill.

Jeff Fleming and Kristina Achermann, respectively,  will assume Fitzgerald's and Moynihan's positions.
