Deadline Hollywood
started off as a column in the LA weekly, in 2002 by Nikki Finke. The
column itself was basically an informative entertainment column based
around the lifestyles of the rich and famous. Nikki decided to take her
now well-known columnto the online world, and the site first went live
in 2006 as a blog. She decided upon calling it the ‘Deadline Hollywood
Daily’. It was so popular that in 2009 the Mail Media Corporation bought
it from her in a lucrative deal with $14 million. The website has since
been changed to deadline.com.
