Blogger Cites “Freedom” as Distinction Between Her and Big Media
Nov 27th, 2007 by Dan Blank
Nikki Finke, who manages the blog “Deadline Hollywood Daily,” points out how she differs from more established media outlets:
“I don’t think I’m a better journalist than anybody else,” she said. “I don’t think I’m a harder-working journalist than anybody else. I do think I have a forum where I have more freedom than anybody else.”
It seems to be paying off for her:
“Her influence cannot be overstated,” said Jon Robin Baitz, executive producer of the ABC drama “Brothers and Sisters…”
“Justin Stangel, a head writer for “The Late Show With David Letterman,” summarized the sentiment on his strike blog, saying: “I feel like I am having an affair with Nikki Finke. I am spending much more time with her than my wife.”
