LAT: Jay Penske discusses plans for Variety. "both brands will maintain distinct websites and editorial offerings."
Will Deadline and Variety share editorial staffs? Do you intend for Nikki Finke to be editor of Variety or involved with it at all?
While many view Variety and Deadline as strict competitors, we see an incredible opportunity for future collaboration, while remaining editorially independent.
What Nikki has architected at Deadline Hollywood is simply amazing. She is without question, one of the smartest, most gifted journalists working in any editorial field today. And to alter or change the chemistry of Deadline.com would be in our opinion a huge mistake.
