McIntyre Joins L.A. Times; Grego Joins Hollywood Reporter
Bravo to my old THR crony Gina McIntyre, who is leaving The Hollywood Reporter after seven years to join the L.A. Times, reporting to Entertainment Editor Betsy Sharkey.
Here's the announcement memo:
2 October 2007 To the Staff: From: Betsy Sharkey, Entertainment Editor We are pleased to announce that Gina McIntyre will join the Calendar staff later this month as an assistant entertainment editor, replacing Rene Lynch, who has moved to the web.Gina brings an extensive background in film and television journalism to her new post and will help shape our reporting in those areas, as well as pop music. She comes to us from the Hollywood Reporter, where her duties as managing editor/features included overseeing the "Next Generation" report, which spotlights the hottest young executives in film, television and new media; the Cannes Film Festival special issue; and the Indie Power survey. During her seven years at the Reporter, Gina also was part of the writing/reporting team that covered most of the major film festivals.
Early in her career, Gina edited "The 'X-Files' Official Magazine," which should make her our go-to person for any conspiracy theories.
Gina officially takes up her new post on Oct. 29 and will report to me.
Back at the THR film department, Carl DiOrio is now covering boxoffice as well as the legal/guilds beat, while tech reporter Carly Mayberry and legal eagle Leslie Simmons are now film reporters. And months after Glenn Abel's departure, Melissa Grego has taken over as web editor of THR.com. She was managing editor for TelevisionWeek after spending her first two years there as a news editor and also worked for Variety.
UPDATE: Here's LA Observed.
