Tatiana Siegel is Executive Editor Film & Media at Variety, where she covers the business of the entertainment industry, ranging from deeply reported investigative pieces to incisive cover profiles.
In February 2022, she landed an American Society of Magazine Editors nomination for excellence in reporting for an exposé on Scott Rudin and an investigative follow-up feature on the complicity machine behind the mega-producer.

In 2019, she was named print journalist of the year at the National Arts & Entertainment Journalism Awards for work that included an abuse-of-power bombshell that led to Warner Bros. chief Kevin Tsujihara resigning.

She has written nearly 100 cover stories for Variety, The Hollywood Reporter and Billboard that span both people (Mick Jagger, Drake and Scarlett Johansson) and scandals (the Sony hack and the career implosion of NBCUniversal CEO Jeff Shell). In addition, she has won multiple SoCal Journalism Awards for such stories as the 2018 profile “Playmate to Politico: How Pamela Anderson Became an International Woman of Mystery” and frequently offers her showbiz analysis everywhere from ABC’s Good Morning America to NPR’s All Things Considered.

Her previous posts include Senior Writer at Rolling Stone and Executive Film Editor at The Hollywood Reporter. The Boston native holds a bachelor’s degree in journalism from Northeastern University and a master’s degree in journalism from New York University.
