Deadline

The "must read" source for breaking news and original content on the business, politics and culture of the entertainment industry. Nikki Finke has created a new category of "infotainment" focusing on the truth from the inside about the biggest players and events in the Hollywood Studios and Big Media.

A recent front page article of the New York Times reviewed Fink'e unparalleled effectiveness in breaking news first that often reveals cracks in Hollywood's carefully massaged image. The article begins "Right now, there's a good chance a Hollywood executive is leaning into a colleague's office and quietly asking, "Did you see what Nikki just wrote?" It continues "Her combination of old-school skills - she is a relentless reporter - and new media immediacy has made her a must-click look into the ragingly insecure id of Hollywood".

As Elle magazine recently wrote, "Out West, where movies, moguls, and millions are made, Nikki Finke is the sheriff in town. From her perch as the queen of Deadline.com, she has been going after the juicy business dramas of film moguls and agents."

Deadline is a uniquely candid and informed website where Nikki Finke breaks news 24/7, before anyone else in town. Finke engages in a conversation with her online audience, building a loyal and powerful community by inviting readers to comment on the latest iteration of her coverage. She writes the story behind the story often as it's still unfolding. For her readers in the entertainment and business community, she's their cup of coffee in the morning … their regular check-in points throughout the day ... and their final nightcap.
