Marisa Guthrie has been writing about the television industry for more than a decade. In 2010, she joined The Hollywood Reporter, which was re-launched as a weekly glossy and has since become one of the most buzzed about publications in the industry. Based in THR’s New York office, in June 2013 she was promoted to East Coast Television Editor. She has written cover stories on the re-invention of former Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez, John Oliver’s move from The Daily Show to HBO, Jon Stewart’s foray into directing in 2014 with Rosewater, Derek Jeter’s post-MLB career as a media executive with The Players’ Tribune, and two cover profiles on Stephen Colbert; one in 2016 when his Late Show was foundering and another after the inauguration of Donald Trump galvanized the comedian and his audience.

For the last four years she has edited THR’s annual 35 Most Powerful People in Media list, an exclusive tally of New York’s media influencers. She also writes feature profiles - subjects have included Lena Dunham, Savannah Guthrie and LeBron James - and regularly breaks news on THR online.

Prior to THR, she was an editor at Broadcasting & Cable where she covered programming and the advertising and television news industries. There she wrote cover stories on the skyrocketing price tag of sports rights, the death of investigative journalism and the incredibly wasteful but enduring network development process.

She makes frequent television appearances including on CNN’s Reliable Sources, Fox New Channel’s Media Buzz, CBS This Morning and Good Morning America.

Before B&C she spent three years at the New York Daily News where she covered the personalities driving the business, from the rank and file behind the cameras to actors and directors and the denizens of the C-suites. She’s interviewed everyone who is anyone in the industry including Leslie Moonves, David Zaslav, John Skipper, Alec Baldwin, Barbara Walters, Conan O’Brien, David Chase, Tina Fey, Michael J. Fox, Larry David and countless others.

Prior to moving to New York, she worked at the Boston Herald, where she wrote television criticism and was a section editor.
