Nellie Andreeva has been named the sole editor in chief of Deadline, following the transition of her longtime co-editor, Mike Fleming Jr., to an editor-at-large position. Andreeva and Fleming have shared the editor in chief role since 2013, after the departure of Deadline’s founder, Nikki Finke.

In her expanded role, Andreeva will oversee the newsroom and daily operations for the Penske Media Corporation-owned publication, managing teams across Los Angeles, New York, and London. Fleming, meanwhile, will focus on leveraging his industry relationships and expertise to help shape Deadline’s ongoing influence within the entertainment sector.

Jay Penske, CEO of Penske Media Corporation, praised Fleming’s contributions, noting, “Mike’s deep industry access, grit, and passion for Deadline have helped solidify its position as the industry’s leading breaking news outlet. I know he will continue to have a great impact on Deadline’s bright future.”

Andreeva emphasized her commitment to maintaining Deadline’s reputation for journalistic excellence and breaking major Hollywood stories. She also expressed her appreciation for Fleming’s continued involvement, stating, “It’s been an honor to lead Deadline’s top-notch editorial team alongside Mike for the past 12 years.”

Fleming shared that he will be dedicating time to working on a nonfiction book through the spring but will remain active with Deadline. “Stepping back does not mean stepping away,” he said. “I will continue to deliver big scoops and long-form pieces, and do whatever is required to keep this great brand on top. I’m grateful to Jay and PMC that after chasing scoops so long, I can spend more time chasing grandkids.”

The editorial leadership team, including Andreas Wiseman (executive editor of international and strategy), Anthony D’Alessandro (editorial director), and Justin Kroll (film editor), will continue to play key roles in Deadline’s film coverage.

Fleming joined Deadline in 2010 after a two-decade tenure at Variety, while Andreeva also came aboard in 2010 following her role as TV editor at The Hollywood Reporter. Since then, Penske Media Corporation has acquired all three major Hollywood trade publications.

This leadership change comes amid a period of restructuring across several Penske-owned outlets. In recent months, Billboard, Rolling Stone, and Variety have all experienced staff reductions, with notable layoffs affecting senior editorial positions.
