I’m very aware that The New York Times and Bloomberg Financial News would not be writing about my Deadline Hollywood Daily website Monday if it weren’t for your support. Here’s the NYT piece, ”Alternative Journalist’s Web Site Is Scrutinized for Writers’ Strike News.” The Bloomberg story has posted, too, but it has errors.
Editor-in-Chief Nikki Finke - tip her here.

And the Grand Dame of old school journalism tips her majestic hat to the brave new world of the electronic word – and the awesome power of a thousand monkeys typing.
Some that even almost sorta slightly agree.

Well thank YOU for keeping us all up to date with the unfiltered goings on.
Damn good article. Bravo…”Kremlinologist”…very appropriate. LOL.
Nikki, you rock! Congrats — and thanks for being an independent and reliable source of news on Hollywood for us outside looking in.
So long as you don’t go all Drudge on us.
Thank you, Nikki for your great site.
With a headline like the Times’, I was expecting a real hatchet job. What a pleasant surprise.
I hope you are write, oops, I mean right. I am hoping the studios get it, that they are not the only ones who should reap rewards from the work of writers. Share Corporate America. It’s the right thing to do.
Good for you! I linked to your blog on November 14 in the comments to a posting by economist Mark Thoma on “Economist’s View,” an economics-and-policy blog that is well-read by policymakers and journalists. Main page here:

Copy and paste the URL.
Well worth reading, always.
The Nov. 14 post was about a recent article in The New Yorker which discussed the general economics of strikes, and got it a little wrong about what the writers’ guild has gained from strikes. The separate post is here:

Congratulations, Nikki!
“It’s been brutal, but it’s also been exhilarating because I love news. I love it — a scoop is better than sex”
Really? Haha, that’s awesome!
Nikki, when I input text in the “name” and “email” boxes for comments, they come out as white and are darn near impossible to read on your gray/yellow backgrounds. Any way to fix that?
No, thank you, Nikki. I know people on the negotiating committee, showrunners, agents, producers, and dozens of other writers like myself, and still find your site the most resourceful. You rock.
nikki finke is awesome and far superior to any other news source re: strike and industry info.
however, nothing is totally unfiltered; even nikki is human, though deservedly she’s earned her superhero stripes lately.
it’s dangerous to hand your mind on a platter to anyone – even a truth seeker like nikki.
bottom line – always maintain a healthy critical mind and ultimately think for yourself when it comes to any news source.
If the strike ends this week (or whenever),it will be in no small part due to Nikki. That’s the truth. Thank you, Nikki, for keeping the heat on… and for keeping us all sane.
The Nation has also shown Nikki some love
