'PwC Media Analyst Corner' Brings Together Entertainment and Media Leaders on the Internet


LOS ANGELES, Oct. 3, 2001 - The Hollywood Reporter and PricewaterhouseCoopers' Entertainment & Media Practice announced the launch of a unique online editorial collaboration today. A new section, called PricewaterhouseCoopers' Media Analyst Corner, offers HollywoodReporter.com users proprietary industry data, forecasts and analysis from PricewaterhouseCoopers, along with key articles from select trade publications.

"We seek to provide our readers with the best quality news and analysis of the entertainment industry. This is a complex international business, and an analytical perspective on the news and the numbers is very valuable," says Glenn Abel, The Hollywood Reporter's Executive Editor, Electronic. "By partnering with PricewaterhouseCoopers to offer the Media Analyst Corner, we can provide our readers with focused analysis on various industry sectors and a selection of news and features from other publications that focus on those sectors."

The subcategories, or sectors, of PricewaterhouseCoopers analysis are: advertising, digital media, film, general media business, Internet, music, publishing and research, sports and television (broadcast and cable).

Both The Hollywood Reporter and PricewaterhouseCoopers have a long history of providing vital news and services to the entertainment and media communities on both coasts -- and around the world. The PricewaterhouseCoopers Media Analyst Corner is another way for both companies to provide industry executives with the enhanced data and analysis necessary to compete in this fast-moving, global business.

"We are pleased to be working with The Hollywood Reporter, a leading entertainment industry news organization, in an online collaboration unrivalled by our competitors," said Peter Winkler, Global Marketing Director, PricewaterhouseCoopers Entertainment & Media Practice. "A major mission of our Practice is to keep senior executives informed about the latest trends and developments shaping the industry. This collaboration gives us a high exposure platform from which to fulfill this mission."
