  • A Former TMZ Employee Said She Was Fired After Complaining About a Sexist, Toxic Work Environment
    A Former TMZ Employee Said She Was Fired After Complaining About A Sexist, Toxic Work Environment buzzfeednews.com/article/krystieyandoli/ex-tmz-employee-lawsuit A former TMZ employee filed a lawsuit against the celebrity gossip show’s parent companies Warner Bros. Entertainment and EHM Productions on Tuesday alleging gender discrimination and retaliation. Bernadette Zilio, 27, worked at TMZ and TooFab, another entertainment site owned by Warner Bros. and EHM Productions, from 2015 to 2020 and said she was fired after she complained to HR about a culture of toxicity and sexism. TMZ founder Harvey Levin, TooFab Managing Editor Shyam Dodge, and TooFab Senior Producer Ross McDonagh are also named in the lawsuit. In the complaint, which was filed Tuesday with the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing, Zilio said she went to Warner Bros. HR representatives in April 2019 about issues of “sexism, belittlement, preferential treatment and lies running rampant on [her] team.” She told HR that she felt there was a division of how men and women were treated on her team, and that when she spoke up about McDonagh writing articles she considered sexist and offensive, such as one that compared Rihanna getting sick with bronchitis and the “attack on her lungs” to her being attacked by Chris Brown, her concerns about making light of domestic violence were dismissed. The complaint also says that Zilio and her female colleagues described the work environment as “a boys’ club,” “100% a bro fest,” and a “freaking frat house.” “The first time I went to HR, they launched an investigation,” Zilio told BuzzFeed News.

  • Missives TMZ Executive Producer, Evan Rosenblum Interview with a Celebrity Interviewer
    Malibu MISSIVES TMZ Executive Producer, Evan Rosenblum Interview with a Celebrity Interviewer TMZ, a relative newcomer, began in 2005 as the brainchild of Harvey Levin… you know, the “I’m a Lawyer” guy. TMZ made its way onto TV in 2007. For those who may have forgotten, “TMZ” is short for “The Thirty Mile Zone”; or Hol- lywood Producer short-speak for the 30-mile radius within which most Hollywood movie production occurs and the distance after which extra crew fees and travel expenses kick-in. While it’s described as a Celebrity Gossip, Entertain- ment and Celebrity News organization, I wouldn’t relegate TMZ to merely gossip news coverage. Almost immediately after launching, TMZ began earning its bones as journalists. TMZ is credited with breaking such global news as the Michael Jackson investigations and most tragically broke the news of Michael Jackson’s demise; as well as, the many times difficult-to-watch Donald Sterling-Clippers debacle. TMZ created its own sometimes tongue- in-cheek, good-humored, unique Entertainment News coverage style and format; at which many would agree they remain the best. Recently, I was able to speak with Evan Rosenblum, an Executive Producer at TMZ and TMZ Hollywood Sports where he also performs double-duty as its lead host. Evan has been with Harvey Levin from the beginning. He started as an intern while still pursuing his undergraduate degree in Journalism from Arizona State University. In a very short period, Evan has come a long way. During our conversation, I learned that Evan is credited with breaking some of TMZ’s biggest stories.

  • Media Analysis of the US Election: August 2020 Insights from Pressrelations 2020 Introduction
    2020 Media Analysis of the US Election: August 2020 Insights from pressrelations 2020 Introduction In cooperation with the Fraunhofer Institute for Communication, Information Processing and Ergonomics FKIE and NewsGuard, pressrelations is conducting am in-depth media analysis that sheds light on the role of disinformation in the 2020 US election. Time window of the qualitative analysis Link to the InfoBoard The basis for this quantitative, fully automated media analysis is formed by 426 online media sources from five countries. The data from 16 of those media sources was coded by pressrelations analysts, according to qualitative criteria. The selected media sources included eight US media sources and eight online media sources from Germany, Austria and Switzerland (D-A-CH), which were analyzed for the period from August 1 to August 31, 2020. In addition, TV coverage of CNN, FOX News and ARD was examined. 9/24/2020 PAGE 2 2020 Methodology This analysis includes the assessment and mapping of the media landscape from different perspectives and is based on extensive data collection from media reports made public on the Internet or on TV channels. The amount of news about the 2020 US election campaign is immense. The volume of articles therefore made it necessary to restrict the media set to a few select media sources. The selection of media was based on the potential reach and the volume of contributions of the respective sources. Despite this restriction, a total of 13,203 posts were coded in August alone. All articles that addressed at least one of the four candidates running for the American presidency and vice presidency were examined.
