Big Changes at DPR

Longtime publisher and general manager Richard Fischer has left the helm at DPR and Advanstar Dental Media. Tight lips mean little news about what brought on the change, but declining ad revenue throughout the market has made goings tough for any dental publisher.

While Fischer's methods rattled many in the market, there is little argument that his innovations changed the way dental media is delivered. I always knew him as a visionary, and I'm sure whatever market he winds up in will be better... and stranger... for his presence.

More on the new DPR Publisher as news is released. I hope to get an interview with him and get the scoop on his approach to dental.
