History
The Hollywood Reporter was founded in September 1930 as Hollywood's first daily entertainment trade newspaper by William Wilkerson. When Wilkerson died in 1962, his widow, Tichi Wilkerson Kassel, took over as editor and publisher; in 1988, she sold THR to the trade publisher BPI. THR was bought by the Dutch publishing consortium Verenigde Nederlandse Uitgeverijen in 2006, by the Nielsen Company in 2007 and, in 2009, by Prometheus Global Media, a new company formed by Pluribus Capital Management and Guggenheim Partners. In 2013, Guggenheim acquired Pluribus's stake and renamed THR's parent company Guggenheim Digital Media.
