Entertainment Weekly

Entertainment Weekly, often referred to as EW, is a digital-only magazine that focuses on entertainment and is based in New York City. It is published by Dotdash Meredith and covers a wide range of topics including film, television, music, Broadway, literature, and pop culture. The magazine first launched on February 16, 1990, in New York. Unlike other celebrity-driven magazines like Us Weekly, People (which is also under the same parent company), and In Touch Weekly, EW emphasizes entertainment media news and offers critical insights and reviews. It distinguishes itself from trade publications like Variety and The Hollywood Reporter, which cater mainly to industry professionals, by appealing to a broader audience. On February 9, 2022, Entertainment Weekly transitioned to a digital-only format, discontinuing its print edition.
