Deadline Hollywood, previously known as news blog Deadline Hollywood Daily, is an online magazine founded by Nikki Finke in 2006. Owned by Jay Penske since 2009, it is a brand of the Penske Media Corporation.
Publication[edit]
The site is updated several times a day, with the infotainment industry as its focus.[2]
History[edit]
Finke began writing her LA Weekly column Deadline Hollywood in June 2002, and began the Deadline Hollywood Daily (DHD) blog in March 2006 as an online version of her column.[3] In 2009, she sold DHD to Mail.com Media for a reported "seven-figure payday", under an agreement by which she would hire an additional writer but remain the site's editor.[4]
In September 2009, the URL was changed to deadline.com and the site's name to Deadline Hollywood, with additional cities planned,[5] including New York and London. In November 2013, Finke left Deadline after a year-long disagreement between herself and Penske, who had bought Variety, a competing trade magazine and website.[6]
Staff[edit]
In 2010, Nikki Finke hired Variety reporter Mike Fleming Jr. (now "Co-Editor-in-Chief, Film") to edit the new Deadline New York expansion,[7] Financial Times editor Tim Adler to lead Deadline London,[8] and Nellie Andreeva, veteran editor for The Hollywood Reporter, to helm the site's television coverage (now "Co-Editor-in-Chief, TV").[9] Finke remained the editor of Deadline Hollywood.
