Josh is a veteran editor, writer and former New York City wire-service newsman who moved to Los Angeles in 2008 to revamp the entertainment department of the Associated Press. He’s covered all facets of the industry ever since, first joining TheWrap in 2009 as a part of the fledgling digital Hollywood trade’s small and scrappy staff. After stints as Film Editor at Variety, as Mashable’s first Entertainment Editor (and even a hot minute at TMZ), Josh returned to TheWrap for a third stint in early 2022.
