UPDATE: Now The Hollywood Reporter is telling some staff that the trade publication will be going from a daily to a weekly by April.
This follows the bosses there telling Hollywood players to advertise in the print edition before the end of the year when the trade would go online only. This was backed up by THR ad staff trying to pressure the studios and networks to agree to help with special issues honoring their respective moguls only before December. Repeatedly, the staff said the issues had to run by December or not at all. Obviously the THR situation is very fluid. We'll see what happens. Meanwhile, Variety is still planning to put its online content behind a paid wall after the new year.

Carl Icahn Now Wants ALL Of Lionsgate
“Meanwhile, Variety is still planning to put its online content behind a paid wall after the new year.”
So…basically, this means that the tracking boards will now be rife with requests for Variety passwords in addition to the usual Westside Rentals ones?
I love all this talk of “behind a wall.” Is this the same wall that keeps movies and music from passing freely on the Internet? Advertising can’t prop up these sites, and I doubt paying subscribers will either. All it takes is one paying subscriber to copy and distribute the paid content and that model dies to. Poor Internet — you looked so promising.
