A former staff writer, Dennis Romero, gives a first-person account of what is wrong with Entrepreneur Magazine, focusing primarily on the editorial and personnel issues dogging the business magazine. The author's account seems pretty believable to me but it is fair to point out that there are oftentimes two sides to stories like this. At a minimum, Romero's blog offers some insight into some of the things I always wonder about with magazines like Entrepreneur, such as: how much do they cater the editorial in an effort to attract specific advertisers.
