Brave New World
Hi there.
I'm Claude Brodesser, the entertainment business columnist for TMZ.com.
One of the things that attracted me to this organization is the same thing that keeps me riveted to news about the creative community: Things are changing thisfast. What does it mean to write for a website, anyway? If the website has video, is it television? If it has print, is it newspaper? I host a radio show for NPR called "The Business" - but it's also a podcast.
In other words, the the same lightning bolt that's torn up the rulebook on old media has also set fire to Hollywood.
The best part, you get to watch moguls scurry about as they put out their own blazes and set fire to their rivals estates.
This is going to be great fun to cover, and even more fun to read about and watch. It's my privilege to be your tour guide to it all.
Warmly,
Claude Brodesser, for TMZ's City of Industry column
