Entertainment industry publication Variety has promoted writers Matt Donnelly and Elaine Low and editor Jazz Tangcay.

A story on its website states, “Donnelly has advanced to Senior Entertainment and Media Writer. He will focus on news and analysis about the film and TV industries, particularly the inner workings of the Hollywood creative community. He also covers talent representation.

“Low has been upped to Senior TV Business Writer. She came to Variety in January 2019. Low has distinguished herself with sharp business coverage of the streaming sector as well as traditional television programming. She has penned cover stories about the final season of “Orange Is the New Black,” the marriage of e-commerce and reality TV in Amazon’s “Making the Cut” and profiled Netflix television chief Bela Bajaria.

“Tangcay has been elevated to Senior Artisans Editor. Tangcay, who joined Variety in October 2019, has quickly established herself as an authority on the below-the-line production community and the array of crafts and technical expertise that are the backbone of visual media and recorded music.
