By David Rothman

Good news: Editor & Publisher, the bible of the newspaper business, is back from the dead and will be published by Duncan McIntosh.

Separately and also on the positive in the newspaper world:

• The Washington Post newsroom staff will not participate in single-sponsor conferences as a rule, at least when the topic relates to a company’s business, and there are other policy improvements, such as that the conferences with newsmakers be on record. An uproar arose last year when the Post was inviting corporations to sponsor issues-related salons at the publisher’s house.
• Real estate advertising is on the rise, at least slightly—which is good as long as newspapers don’t let it influence coverage.
