From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Hollywood Reporter (THR) is an American media brand focused on the entertainment industry. It publishes breaking news stories online each day and a glossy tabloid magazine every week. Topics it reports on include the business of Hollywood, including agencies, studios and TV networks, awards such as the Oscars and Emmys, film reviews, box office numbers, lifestyle, celebrities and film reviews. It was founded as a daily trade paper for the movie industry in 1930 and was re-worked as a glossy weekly with more of a consumer focus in 2010. It also hosts several dozen parties a year around award shows or other events.

The Hollywood Reporter was founded by Billy Wilkerson, then inherited by his wife upon his death in 1962. Along with its main rival at the time, Variety, it became one of the two primary trade publications for the entertainment industry. It was sold to Billboard Publications Inc. in 1988, which was then sold to Nielsen (then called VNU) in 1994. Prometheus Global Media (then called e5 Global Media Holdings) acquired it in 2009 amid declining readership and advertising revenues. Prometheus appointed a new editor, Janice Min, who overhauled the publication, leading to a turnaround. In 2015, Prometheus was re-structured, creating a separate company, The Hollywood Reporter-Billboard Media Group, which now owns The Hollywood Reporter.
