Electronic News Is Shutting Its Doors
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/11/26/0254248

[0]ahess247 writes "You probably missed it, but last week, the
    publication that helped give Silicon Valley its name announced that it     will be shutting down its paper edition next month. [1]Electronic News     is one of the oldest trade publications covering the electronics and     semiconductor industries. Launched in 1957, it predates its main     competitor [2]EETimes by more than a decade. One of its main claims to     fame is it was the first publication to ever use the phrase Ã&#x201a;Â&#x201c;Silicon     ValleyÃ&#x201a;Â&#x201d; in print. A reporter for the weekly paper, the late [3]Don     Hoefler wrote a series of stories entitled Ã&#x201a;Â&#x201c;Silicon Valley, USAÃ&#x201a;Â&#x201d; that     started the week of Jan. 11, 1971. The name, as we all know, stuck. It     was also within the pages of Electronic News that [4]Intel Corp. first     advertised its [5]4004 Microprocessor. Once considered the bible of the     electronics industry, its last printed issue will go out to subscribers     on Dec. 2. According to [6]this press release from its current owner,
[7]Reed Business, the publication will shift to an Ã&#x201a;Â&#x201c;all digital
    format.Ã&#x201a;Â&#x201d; All but three staffers have been let go, and they will     produce what essentially amounts to an online newsletter. Not a fitting     end for a publication with such an important place in the history of     the semiconductors industry."
