Editor & Publisher, the US press trade magazine which is to cease publication after more than 100 years in print, will produce a January issue.

Owner Nielsen Media said last week that the December issue of the magazine would be the last before the title closed. E&P said today that due to ‘overwhelming reader and advertiser demand’it would publish a January issue.

The news, posted under the headline ‘Hope Remains?’did go on to add that the January issue was expected to be the publication’s last under its current ownership.
