ONE of Martin Boulton’s proudest moments as a journalist was convincing a former editor-in-chief of The Age to revive the paper’s iconic EG music and entertainment lift out.
EG — short for Entertainment Guide — had been pushed aside in favour of The Shortlist, a thinly-disguised replica of the Sydney Morning Herald’s entertainment lift out.
But Boulton — who in a career of almost 15 years at The Age has worked as a news and sports reporter before editing EG for the last four — successfully argued that the EG name was distinctly Melburnian and should be resurrected.
