Abrams’s Mediaite Hires Nikki Finke as Senior Columnist

Mediaite: Nikki Finke is returning to the news business. After taking a three-year hiatus, the Deadline Hollywood founder will be joining Mediaite as senior columnist, starting in January 2017. Finke will have complete autonomy to opine “on what she wants and how she wants to say it.” Because of a non-compete agreement, she won’t be writing about the entertainment industry.
