The Hollywood Reporter has compiled a list of the biggest movers, shakers, and dealmakers in the New York City world of media.
Made up of powerhouse news anchors, TV personalities, and publishing magnates, the list has its fair share of seasoned vets like editrix Anna Wintour, and shock jock Howard Stern, but also contains the names of newer media moguls to look out for, such as Vice Media’s Shane Smith.
Whether they are new to the scene, a long time powerhouse, or recently relevant – these are the biggest names in the 2014 world of media in our city.
