How to Pitch: The Hollywood Reporter

hreporte2r.jpgThe Hollywood Reporter lands on the desk of just about every executive and producer in the entertainment industry each morning. Its pages report the day-to-day business of Hollywood, as well as feature longer, more insightful stories that highlight trends in the world of film, television, music and new media. What to pitch:Because all of the daily hard news and reviews are done by in-house reporters and stringers in international territories, the best place to pitch is the features department. This is where all feature stories and special single-topic issues originate, and about 75 percent of the copy is written by freelancers. Editors are open to a variety of approaches and ideas, but everything that the Reporter publishes needs to come from a Hollywood insider perspective. What not to pitch: This definitely isn’t the outlet to pitch celebrity profiles or stories centering around the culture of celebrity. Editors want writers who know the names and roles of executives and producers who are usually behind the scenes, as well as the business, financial, and technological aspects of how movies are made, marketed and distributed. Etiquette: The best way to contact The Hollywood Reporter is by submitting a query and clips first, then following up via email. More here!
