Vanity Fair magazine has created a Blogopticon which charts the tone and content of what it considers ”the most influential or amusing blogs” vying for the attention of the world’s billion-plus Web surfers. The sites are categorized along four attributes: “news” vs “opinion”, “earnest” vs “scurrilous”, and everything inbetween. I am very proud to say that VF included my Deadline Hollywood Daily and gave it high marks indeed: at the very top of “news” and in the “earnest” category.
Editor-in-Chief Nikki Finke - tip her here.


they stole this from NY Magazine. Zero for originality.
I read Vanity Fair mag which is now underfire by Bill Clinton LOL. But I didn’t know this blogicon they ripped off from another mag. The editors could be more orginal.
Congratulations on being recognized by the dead tree media.
Well done, Nikki. Well deserved too.
Hail, hail the True Queen of Media;-)
The thing is when you report about the FACTS, people took notice and read about it Nikki
Congrats Divine Miss N
Nikki, kudos for being recognized for this great blog. You do what 99% of “industry blogs” don’t: good old fashion gumshoe reporting! BRAVO!!!
I agree that you are original. I can’t stand the cut and paste popular blogs. Your blog is a news original.
As others pointed out this was ripped off from New York Magazine; more than that it happens to be a well-known, widely read, regular feature in their magazine. So it’s extra super duper unoriginal of VF.
Nikki
