In the course of selling off several trade publications including the Hollywood Reporter and Billboard, a division of Nielsen Co. decided to cease publishing E&P and Kirkus Reviews, a pre-publication book review magazine.

E&P Editor Greg Mitchell held out hope for a white knight to rescue his magazine. But like a doctor diagnosing his own terminal illness, he laid out the bleak scenario that led to E&P's demise.
