Shirley Halperin
The Hollywood Reporter replaced co-editor-in-chief Nekesa Mumbi Moody on Tuesday with Shirley Halperin, reports Sean Burch of The Wrap.
Burch reports, “Halperin will serve as co-editor-in-chief alongside Maer Roshan.
“Halperin resigned as editor-in-chief of Los Angeles Magazine in July, just a year after joining the publication, amid complaints that it failed to pay overdue bills to freelancers and vendors. Before LA Magazine, Halperin was the executive editor for music at Variety and previously served as the music editor at Billboard.
“‘Shirley brings deep experience in entertainment journalism to this role, and is one of the industry’s finest,’ Jay Penske, CEO and chairman of Penske Media Corporation, said in a prepared statement obtained by TheWrap. ‘We are excited to welcome her back and know her contributions will be key to THR’s growth and evolution.'”
