Nikki Finke Hires Variety Vet To Helm Deadline New York

Ever since Nikki Finke sold her blog Deadline Hollywood Daily to Mail.com Media Corp. in June, we’ve been looking forward to see who she would hire as New York editor as Deadline expands to become a bicoastal pub.

Last night Finke announced that she had chosen Mike Fleming, a 20-year Variety veteran, to helm her East Coast operations, to be called Deadline New York. She’s also brought on Tim Adler to lead Deadline London.

As editor of Deadline New York, Fleming will cover “film and television dealmaking and production and casting,” and is looking forward to “expand[ing] his turf by breaking news and offering analysis about books, media, TV news, theater, and other Gotham-based infotainment arenas.”
