Aramide Tinubu

Aramide A. Tinubu is Variety’s new TV critic, joining fellow critic Alison Herman, who started at the publication in April.

A story on Variety’s website states, “In her role, Tinubu, who is based in New York City, will write reviews, commentary and cover stories, and will be a key voice in television coverage across all of Variety’s platforms. She will work with editor-at-large Kate Aurthur, who oversees TV criticism and features.

“As a critic, consultant, producer and entertainment editor, Tinubu has been published in Essence, The Hollywood Reporter, IndieWire, Bustle and Netflix’s Tudum. ‘We are so excited to have Aramide join our team as a TV critic,’ say Variety co-editors-in-chief Cynthia Littleton and Ramin Setoodeh. ‘Criticism has always been a backbone of our coverage, and we know that Aramide’s byline — and point of view — will further bolster our team.'”
