The “we don’t cover that” excuse can’t really be used
anymore. Especially since THR covers alcohol and The Wrap covers cougars. And yes, Deadline and
Variety are certainly better at defining and delivering to their core audience. But the Queen's Diamond Jubilee concert had everything: A-list performers, a red carpet, pageantry, international
appeal. It was an amazing night by the looks of it. So I’m curious as to why
something so obviously meant for the entertainment age would have no appeal as a
streamed event (if possible) -- or a heavily hyped and covered (besides ratings) homepage element. (So far, I see THR did have this and Variety posted this small V Page item about Brits in L.A.). London is an important hub for the trades. There are staffs, subscribers, readers and
industry folks aplenty. And like I said…”we don’t cover that” doesn’t mean what
it used to. This wasn’t a monster truck rally.
