Recession Hits Pharmacy Publishing

// January 23rd, 2009 // Pharmacy General

The effects of a sinking US economy have recently spread to the pharmacy publishing industry. Pharmacy & Healthcare Communications, LLC (publisher of Pharmacy Times, et al) recently eliminated the position of publisher at each of their publications. Advanstar Communications (publisher of Drug Topics, et al) eliminated all publication-specific editorial/publishing positions….opting to bring them all under one “centralized roof.” This translates to have an Editor-at-Large without a specific background in pharmacy.

I wonder what impact these changes will have on the quality/content of 2 of the 3 main pharmacy magazines.
