Happy Thanksgiving weekend!
Today we are immensely grateful to you, our Ankler audience, who grew our number of subscribers 77 percent (and counting!) this year.
Huge swaths of the industry have come to rely on us for smart, indispensable guidance, insight, analysis and news — the kind you can’t get anywhere else.
No spam, no gossip, no clickbait.
Richard Pleper was quoted earlier this year as saying, “I read [The Ankler] the second I see it pop up. People read it, people respect it, people send it around.”
We are proud The Ankler is a home for serious people in the industry.
As we head into another watershed year in entertainment, we want to make it easier for you to never miss a single word.
Through Sunday night, we are offering 25 percent off a first-time annual paid Ankler subscription. As a paid subscriber, you’ll never be blocked by a paywall (or beg for a forward from your colleague again). You’ll receive full access to Richard Rushfield’s insights and biting analysis, and start your day the same way the smartest people in entertainment do —with Sean McNulty’s brilliant Wakeup newsletter. You’ll also have full access to the most incisive features, interviews and news in town from Peter Kiefer, Elaine Low, Claire Atkinson, Nicole LaPorte and of course, Entertainment Strategy Guy (as well as full access to the transcripts for every podcast from Martini Shot’s Rob Long and The Ankler).
The past 11 months were a momentous, everything-on-the-table year for entertainment. Next year, no doubt, will be another. We hear from our paid subscribers all the time: The Ankler is an invaluable resource in navigating the tumult of the industry.
Our special offer also extends to gift subscriptions (kid home for Thanksgiving? Get them started on the right foot!).
Best of all, by becoming a paid subscriber, you’ll support great independent journalism. The kind that author and long-time Hollywood observer Bret Easton Ellis described recently as such:
“Richard Rushfield’s brilliant newsletter [is] really the only honest thing being printed in Hollywood because all the other shit is just ridiculous. It really does give the uncensored lowdown on the shit that goes down, and it’s opinionated and it knows what it is talking about. This is not… approved legacy media.”
Here is just a sample of a dozen recent headlines only paid subscribers could access, just from the last few months:
Don’t get left behind! Sign up now for the best and smartest information Hollywood insiders use to navigate their world. Our discount ends Sunday at midnight PT.
We’d love to have you!
