Elizabeth Wagmeister
Elizabeth Wagmeister has been upped to chief correspondent for Variety.
A story on its website states, “Wagmeister will continue to cover breaking news in the entertainment industry on all multimedia platforms, as well as conduct longform investigations and write feature stories. In her newly formed role, Wagmeister will develop video content for Variety, both as a producer and host.
“Wagmeister joined Variety in 2014 as a TV reporter. She has emerged as a top investigative correspondent and trusted voice in entertainment journalism, covering the sexual assault trial of Harvey Weinstein, the conservatorship saga of Britney Spears and the sexual misconduct allegations that led to Matt Lauer’s firing from ‘Today’ in 2017.
“‘At Variety, Elizabeth has shown that she’s an intrepid reporter who can juggle print, digital and video,’ said Ramin Setoodeh, Variety’s executive editor. ‘In her new position, Elizabeth’s reporting and commentary will help drive our new video growth strategy.'”
