The editorial director of the Hollywood Reporter is stepping down, following a disagreement with the industry publication’s owner.
“No, the current global situation didn’t play a role in my exit. In fact, it makes it even harder to leave this team when we’re rising to the occasion and covering the crisis as well as we are,” he said in the memo published on THR’s web site. “Today’s announcement is the result of a series of conversations I’ve had for a few months with Modi about the direction at THR.”
Nevertheless, he concluded his memo by stating that his exit is “100 percent amicable” and he’ll remain at the company for another month, tying up loose ends and helping with the transition.
