The Hollywood Reporters Parent Company Continues To Cost Cut: Prometheus Pulled Plug On Hollywood Creative Directory EXCLUSIVE: The Hollywood Reporter’s parent company is unloading more assets to cut costs.

Soon after,internal sourcesrevealed to Deadlinethat the Hollywood Creative Directory employees, comprised of its publishing director of 17 years Valencia McKinley and her staff of three, were laid off and informed that the outlet had been sold. There’s no question that Prometheuskeeps looking to cut costs, especially with The Hollywood Reporter hemorrhaging the most red ink of all its media properties because of soaring overhead and collapsed subscriptions.Ad Week and Billboard also are in trouble.Prometheus, initially entitled e5 Global Media, bought Back Stage as part of an 8-title acquisition from The Nielsen Company.The parent company was formedjointly by private equity partner Pluribus Capital Management co-founder Jimmy Finkelsteinand financial services firm Guggenheim Partners’ Todd Boehly who is managing partner in the Office Of The CEO.
