The Hollywood Reporter

U.S. entertainment trade press, center-left cultural orientation

The Hollywood Reporter is an entertainment-industry trade publication owned by Penske Media Corporation, the company built by Jay Penske that also owns Variety, Rolling Stone, Billboard, and Deadline. Its core coverage is entertainment business news, awards, and celebrity culture rather than partisan politics, though its occasional political coverage tends to reflect the broadly liberal-leaning social attitudes common in the Hollywood industry it covers. It treats the Trump administration mainly as a subject affecting its industry beat (tariffs, immigration's effect on productions, FCC/media policy) rather than as a target of sustained ideological advocacy.

Owned byOwned by Penske Media Corporation (PMC), the Los Angeles-based media company controlled by CEO Jay Penske; PMC acquired an 80% stake in 2020 from Media Rights Capital (Eldridge Industries retains a minority interest)
