The Ankler
Hollywood's most influential insider newsletter covering the entertainment industry's power dynamics and dealmaking.
The Ankler is the newsletter that Hollywood's most powerful executives read to understand what is really happening in the entertainment industry. Founded by Richard Rushfield in 2017, it quickly became what The New York Times called a "hit Hollywood newsletter," known for its candid, unvarnished take on the studios, streamers, and dealmakers shaping the business of entertainment.
The Ankler has expanded from a solo newsletter into Ankler Media, helmed by CEO Janice Min and editorial director Rushfield. With 145,000 subscribers that include studio heads, agents, and producers, The Ankler offers an expanded suite of newsletters, features, news analysis, podcasts, and events that reflect the inside conversation of Hollywood. It remains the go-to source for understanding entertainment industry power dynamics.
