The 2024 class of 10 News Publishers That Do It Right is now E&P’s News Media’s 10 to Watch. They represent our industry with small-town publishers to large properties; monthly, weekly and daily publications; legacy print and digital publications; business, university and alternative publications — representing the breadth and depth of our industry. Each faced challenges and innovated to overcome them, and each has a story to tell — revenue, content, community service, engagement, business model…

If you read these editorials regularly, you know more about me than you want or need. Something you probably don’t know about me, though, is that I absolutely hate politics. This makes it hard for my dear husband, who is a political news junkie, when he is banished to his office to watch one of his favorite TV hosts, Nicole Wallace. The political season(s) bring on another of my least favorite things — polls. All it takes to cue my eye-roll is the phrase, “According to the _____ poll.”

It’s time again for one of our favorite salutes — E&P’s 25 Under 35. In some way, it showcases our future — one that’s inspired, passionate and innovative — reinvigorated by fresh ideas and talent. There were so many deserving nominees this year that we stretched our 25 to include two more. Cheers to E&P’s 2024 class of 25 Under 35!

2023 has been a year rife with layoffs, buyouts and a continuation of a difficult media sales environment. It takes resilience, grit and out-of-the-box thinking to succeed. The 2024 class of E&P Media Sales Superstars stand out in their ability to stand up against these challenging times, stay focused and get the job done for their customers, their communities and the companies they represent.

With the 2023 class of “Creative Visionaries,” E&P salutes the news media industry’s creative directors, art directors, photo editors, multimedia designers and even a CEO and publisher. Whether designing a magazine cover, creating a layout for a multi-page publication or developing interactive graphics, these creative colleagues bring storytelling to life.

Storytelling is the foundation of our industry. It’s what we do and the gift we give. We are the conduits for others’ stories. We at E&P tell these stories so that they might help someone in our industry when they encounter similar situations.

In each of the last two years, E&P has announced our “15 Over 50” salute. However, again this year, the nominees have been so deserving that we expanded the group to include “20 Over 50.” We were excited about our robust response and the stellar individuals we salute. They range in age from 51 to 75. Some have spent most of their career in news with one organization, and others have progressed through several positions across organizations.

Mike Reed, Gannett’s chairman and chief executive officer, spoke with E&P in an exclusive interview about the lawsuit and his thoughts about the future possibilities of news media and journalism.

We’re excited to bring these publishers…

The Washington Post team members featured in our cover story, “Journalism on TikTok,” have much to teach us about what we need to do to appeal to the next generation of news consumers. They are using the platform to engender trust and create a following that views their newspaper as a reliable information source.

Our 25 Under 35 salute showcases our future — one that’s inspired, passionate and innovative, reinvigorated by fresh ideas and talent. E&P thanks the colleagues who thoughtfully nominated this year’s deserving nominees. Cheers to E&P’s 2023 class of 25 Under 35!

The 2022 class of “Over 50” grew this year by 10.

We did that, and you answered. We had a great response, with so many deservin…
