[PW] Re: "In-House" Publications Directory???

[Dennis Lien]

Yes, WORKING PRESS OF THE NATION is still being published (though I'm not
convinced it's as thorough in its house organ coverage as the old GEBBIE
directory was).  But it's now known as:

Title            Bowker's news media directory.
Published       New Providence, N.J. : R.R. Bowker, c2003-
         54th ed. (2004)-
         Annual
Description     v. ; 28 cm.
Other Title     News media directory
Continues       Working press of the nation
Note    Parts for 2004- called: Vol. 1, Newspaper directory; Vol. 2, 
Magazine and newsletter directory; Vol. 3, TV and radio directory.
ISSN             0000-1783


I'd also recommend STANDARD PERIODICAL DIRECTORY as
having good coverage of in-house publications.

Title            The Standard periodical directory.
Published       New York, Oxbridge Pub. Co.
         1- ed., 1964/65-
         Annual, 1987-
Description     v. 28 cm.
ISSN    0085-6630 0895-4321

We have 2006 editions of both, if you'd like me to check for a specific
publication for you.
