Leading Journalist Tatiana Siegel joins Rolling Stone
December 22, 2021: Today, Tatiana Siegel, an award-winning entertainment journalist, joined Rolling Stone as Senior Writer, reporting across entertainment, media and culture. Most recently, Tatiana served as The Hollywood Reporter’s Executive Film Editor, covering the successes and scandals of the movie business for nearly a decade, notably breaking two massive abuse stories that led industry exits of Warner Brothers Chairman and CEO Kevin Tsujihara and producer Scott Rudin. Prior to this role, she worked as a film reporter at Variety for five years. She began her entertainment journalism career at The Hollywood Reporter in 2003. She will be based in New York working directly with Rolling Stone’s Editor-In-Chief, Noah Shachtman.
“From her landmark expose of producer Scott Rudin to her meticulous reporting on the relationship between Hollywood and Beijing, Tatiana has delivered incredibly important, impactful journalism on the entertainment industry time and time again. I couldn’t be happier about her joining the Rolling Stone family,” said Shachtman.
“This marks a bittersweet moment. While I am sad to say goodbye to the incredibly talented journalists at The Hollywood Reporter — some of whom I’ve been working with since 2003 and consider to be close friends — I am incredibly excited by the prospect of teaming with Noah Shachtman, who I have long admired. Noah’s blend of fearless journalism and thirst for the compelling dovetails perfectly with my own sensibility,” said Siegel.”
The addition of Tatiana Siegel, who was named print journalist of the year the 2019 National Arts & Entertainment Journalism Awards, builds on the growing number of world-class reporters and editors who have recently signed on to join the Rolling Stone editorial team, including Nancy Dillon, Kara Voght, Tomas Mier, and Lisa Tozzi. Siegel’s hire also comes at a defining moment for the brand. As high-profile exposes on Marilyn Manson and Eric Clapton have shown, there’s a renewed, clear focus on hard-hitting journalism.
