TheWrap Nominated Best Entertainment Website in National Entertainment Journalism Awards

Our site was nominated as the best in the country for the second year in a row

TheWrap, the entertainment industry’s most influential and reliable news source, was nominated for a whopping nine nominations for the Los Angeles Press Club’s 6th annual National Entertainment Journalism Awards on Tuesday, including best entertainment website for the second year in a row, we are pleased to share.

Other nominations of note were for “WaxWord,” editor-in-chief Sharon Waxman’s blog about the business of entertainment, and TheWrap’s thrilling four nominations in the investigative category. This includes one for TheWrap’s most notable story in 2013 — the uncovering of ties in the Bauer Media Group to Nazi sympathizer publications. TheWrap’s series on the new realities of Hollywood’s economic landscape was also nominated, as were previous series in honor of the Special Centennial Awards, celebrating the Los Angeles Press Club’s 100-year history.

It’s even more rewarding to see our excellent journalism recognized in a year when we’ve grown our newsroom and our traffic by leaps and bounds, and redesigned and relaunched the site itself. Our core focus remains and will always be great journalism.”
