Janice Min to lead THR

min.jpgMin was the editor-in-chief of Us Weekly and had been making a reported $2 million a year - that is, until she couldn't work out a new deal with Jann Wenner. Her new gig will be as editorial director of the Hollywood Reporter, now owned by the firm e5 Global Media. That's bound to fuel speculation about the future of the Reporter's editor, Elizabeth Guider. Under the new setup, Guider reports to Min. From The Wrap:

Whatever her celebrity status on the New York media landscape, Min is an unknown entity within the clubby world of Hollywood, and does not come from the world of business reporting. Beckman said this was not an issue. "She understands the entertainment industry. She may not have run a business to business publication, but she truly understands the entertainment industry. I have 100% confidence in her ability to bring together strong team and strong vision."
