Katie Kilkenny

Katie Kilkenny, labor and media reporter at The Hollywood Reporter, has been promoted to enterprise reporter, TV and labor.

A Reporter story states, “In her expanded position, Kilkenny will cover the business of television development and production while seeking out scoops and enterprise stories across the streaming landscape. She will serve as an additional presence in L.A. for THR’s television team, which includes television features editor Mikey O’Connell, television business editor Rick Porter, television editor Tony Maglio and writer-at-large James Hibberd.

“Meanwhile, Kilkenny will continue to cover core issues impacting the industry’s workforce and the business of Hollywood unions for THR’s website and print magazine.

“‘Katie has built a reputation as one of the sharpest labor reporters in the business — tenacious, well-sourced and unafraid to go after difficult stories. She’s broken news, won awards and given a voice to people who rarely get one. I am excited to see her bring those formidable skills to a broader Hollywood landscape,’ Roshan said in a statement.”
