It was reported this week that Nikki Finke has sold her media and entertainment news blog, Deadline Hollywood Daily, to Mail Media Corporation – for a figure speculated to be as much as $15m. Here’s a blog post written on Tuesday by the former Newsweek writer:
“Know this: I did not sell out. I really meant it when I said that DeadlineHollywood Daily.com will continue to be an independent editorial voice – and I would retain complete control over everything reported on the website – so that DHD’s credibility with its readers could remain intact.”
