Josh is a Senior News Editor at TheWrap. He is a veteran wire-service journalist who moved from New York 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, Mashable’s first Entertainment Editor (and even a hot minute at TMZ), Josh returned to TheWrap for a third tour of duty in early 2022.
