"The severe dislocation in the newspaper industry has presented a unique opportunity for those with the initiative to step in, so Maveron looked outside the box to support me, a new entrepreneur, with their wisdom, financial expertise, business observations, and deal-making skills."
— Sharon Waxman, Editor-in-Chief and CEO

In the spotlight.

It’s no news that traditional news is in crisis, with readers fragmenting and flocking to other sources—particularly the Internet—for their information. With this in mind, along with the fact that popular culture is a $500 billion industry, TheWrap.com was born. Providing entertainment intelligence for the digital age, it’s an online resource of news and commentary connecting the global community of entertainment professionals, influencers, and enthusiasts—and delivering them to advertisers. It’s the place to go for the most current and relevant conversations about the ever-changing worlds of entertainment and media. Featuring top-notch reporters and talented voices from the entertainment community, as well as guest blogs and contributions, TheWrap.com is an exciting new business model that breaks news at the speed of the Internet. Founded by award-winning journalist Sharon Waxman, TheWrap.com debuted in January 2009, and the word continues to spread.
