'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."
