The Hollywood Reporter's editor Matthew Belloni departs
Belloni, 43, had served in a variety of editing roles at THR and became its top editor in 2016. He was part of the leadership that saw the Hollywood Reporter transition from a daily trade newspaper to a weekly magazine with a large digital presence. In February, the Hollywood Reporter had 25 million unique visitors, theBelloni’s exit follows sharp disagreements over the editorial direction of the publication that had been building up in recent months.
Prior to Valence’s work with Poynter, the company had established journalistic standards but not a written ethics policy, said Kelly McBride, a senior vice president at Poynter. “We are committed to our publications and to journalistic integrity,” Valence wrote in a statement. “We have implemented many of Poynter’s recommended changes and recently opened up the discussion beyond our leadership teams to all editorial staff.”The question of how to balance its journalistic mission with the business interests of its owner has long been a source of tension internally, according to a person familiar with the matter who was not authorized to comment.
