Nikki Finke Has a New Managing Editor

Even though Patrick Hipes is still listed as assistant managing editor of the Hollywood Reporter on the publication’s latest, updated masthead (March 9th), that’s not quite right.

He is in fact – as of March 1st – the new managing editor of Nikki Finke’s five-year-old Deadline.com, following Michael Speier’s brief stint in that position last year. Hipes was only just promoted at THR last October, but perhaps sees the writing on the revamped trade’s wall. He had been with the company since 2004, first as a copy editor and then as copy chief.

Hipes will work out of the Mail.com
