The Ankler is the flagship brand within Ankler Media, a new company formed in December 2021 helmed by Janice Min, CEO and editor in chief, and Richard Rushfield, editorial director and The Ankler’s Chief Columnist.

One of Fast Company’s “10 Newsletters That Make You Smarter”, The Ankler newsletter launched in 2017 and quickly became the most buzzed-about voice in coverage of the entertainment industry. Created by veteran reporter Richard Rushfield as a sharp-edged alternative to traditional trade reporting, The Ankler quickly became a much-passed-around open secret in the industry, greeted with relief by those who wanted to see someone asking the questions that were being swept under the rug – and doing it with wit and elan.

Since its launch, Hollywood has been roiled by a series of crises – the Harvey Weinstein revelations and the #MeToo reckoning that followed, the upheaval and dislocations of the streaming war, dramatic struggles about representation of people of color in the executive ranks and the COVID shutdown to name just a few. At each of these, The Ankler has proven an indispensable voice – speaking plainly about injustice and foolishness on all sides of the debate. On issue after issue, The Ankler's perspective has set the terms of the debate that has followed.
