Variety

Variety has been the entertainment industry's trade paper for a century, and its newsletter keeps that role, reporting on deals, box office numbers, streaming strategy, and the executives making the decisions behind what gets made. It's written for people who work in or around the business, not just people who watch the output.

Coverage spans film, television, music, and increasingly the tech platforms reshaping distribution, with an emphasis on who's hiring, who's exiting, and where the money is moving. The tone is trade-press direct. Fewer opinions, more facts about deals and numbers that matter to the industry itself.
