Former editor Tim Gray moved over to special projects. Variety originated as a New York-based weekly publication in 1905, expanding to a Hollywood-based daily edition in 1933. In 1987 it was purchased by Reed Elsevier. Penske Media Corporation (PMC) — which owns publications/blogs like BGR, Deadline, Hollywood Life, HollyBaby, ENTV, MovieLine, TVLine, and OnCars — acquired Variety from Reed Elsevier in 2012 for a reported $25 million, but it was maintained as a separate profit center outside PMC.

It is a three- part miniseries created for HBO by Polish director Agnieszka Holland that reconstructs the story that has left a deep mark on the Czechoslovak society and, more broadly, in all the countries of Eastern Europe. Burning Bush focuses on the personal sacrifice of Prague history student Jan Palach who in September 1969 set himself on fire in protest against the Soviet occupation of Czechoslovakia (the so-called “Prague Spring”). Dagmar Burešová, a young female lawyer (played by Tatiana Pauhofová, shown below), became part of his legacy by defending Palach’s family in a trial against the communist government. “To open a line of large-scale production in Europe, we chose a story with universal values ​​of truth, humanity, honor, justice and courage,” said Antony Root, executive vice president of HBO Europe, during a preview presentation to 167 journalists from many Western and Eastern European countries. The Burning Bush press conference took place at Prague’s Lucerna Kino, followed a few days later by the Premier Gala Event, held at Prague’s Slovansky dum and then a reception at Obecni dum.

Laura Blum-Smith Casey Rae Research Analyst Chief Executive Officer Emily Sokolski Senior Research and Policy Analyst Ellen Stutzman Director of Research and Public Policy Writers Guild of America, West, Inc. Future of Music Coalition 7000 West Third Street 1615 L Street NW, Ste. 520 Los Angeles, CA 90048 Washington, DC 20036 December 29, 2014 REDACTED – FOR PUBLIC INSPECTION SUMMARY The proposed merger between Comcast Corporation (“Comcast”) and Time Warner Cable (“TWC” or “Time Warner Cable,” together, “Applicants”) and the subsequent divestiture transactions between Applicants, Charter Corporation (“Charter”), and GreatLand Connections will harm competition, programming diversity, and consumer choice. There is broad consensus among industry participants that these transactions do not serve the public interest. Comcast’s proposed expansion of traditional and digital media distribution magnifies many of the harms identified by commenters and by the Federal Communications Commission (“Commission” or “FCC”) in the Comcast-NBC Universal (“NBCU”) merger and also raises new concerns. In Comcast-NBCU , the FCC found that the merger would have increased Comcast’s ability and incentive to discriminate against unaffiliated programming 1 and to hinder competition from online video distributors (“OVDs”) through “its exercise of control over consumers’ broadband connections.”2 Now, with the acquisition of TWC, Comcast can expand such harmful practices across a larger share of both the multichannel video programming distribution (“MVPD”) and Internet service provider (“ISP”) markets.

By WWD Staff on October 27, 2017 NEW YORK – Penske Media Corporation (PMC) and its subsidiary Fairchild Media announced the acquisition of Sourcing Journal, the premiere media brand for global executives focused on the sourcing and manufacturing industries. The purchase advances Fairchild’s and WWD’s leadership position in today’s fashion and retail business coverage. “The future of fashion will rely much more on material sciences, sourcing and technology, so to bring into the fold the leading media publication in that space opens important opportunities for our WWD and FN brands as well as for our readers and partners,” said PMC chairman and chief executive officer Jay Penske. “Eddie is a remarkable entrepreneur; we’re eager to work with him and the entire Sourcing Journal team to continue the growth of this emerging brand and leading platform.” Since its founding by Edward Hertzman and his co-founder Munir Mashooqullah in 2009, Sourcing Journal has swiftly taken the lead as the top-tier voice for sourcing and manufacturing industry thought leaders. With over 70,000 readers, Sourcing Journal’s expert editorial team leads the industry conversation with smart investigative journalism, breaking news, analysis of global market conditions and industry white papers. “There’s something to be said about synergies and I think that’s what we’ve found with this move. When I met Jay, I knew he shared the same vision for the future of Sourcing Journal as I’ve had in all the years that got us to this point,” Hertzman said.
