SXSW, the largest cultural event in the United States, today announced that Penske Media Corporation has transitioned from a majority stakeholder to full owner. The move represents a seamless evolution of a multi-year strategic partnership built on shared ambition, strong financial growth, and international expansion. SXSW will remain headquartered in Austin, where its flagship Conference & Festivals and SXSW EDU will continue to take place. SXSW 2027 runs March 15–21, preceded by SXSW EDU, March 13–16.
The partnership began in 2021, when PMC invested in SXSW following the severe financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, providing critical capital that helped secure the event’s future. Over the past several years, PMC and SXSW have worked together to strengthen the company’s long-term foundation, expand opportunities for programming, partnerships, and community building, and grow its global presence in Europe. SXSW will continue to be led from Austin, with a focus on preserving the deep community relationships that have long defined the event.
Founded by Roland Swenson, Nick Barbaro, Louis Jay Meyers and Louis Black, SXSW has played a central role in Austin’s evolution as an international destination for music, film, technology and the creative industries. Under their leadership, SXSW created a new model for bringing different industries and communities together and established a global event that remains deeply connected to its hometown.
“It's been a great joy and honor to help build this company from the ground up,” said Nick Barbaro, SXSW co-founder. “We could never have done this anywhere but Austin, and thanks to the hard work and dedication of so many talented people who’ve cared deeply about its purpose over the years, SXSW continues to impact the lives of countless artists and innovators around the world. It’s been a great ride and we look forward to watching SXSW continue to grow in vibrant new ways while remaining focused on helping creative people achieve their goals.”
"SXSW combines exceptional leadership and a proven playbook with a live event experience that is second to none." said Jay Penske, Chairman and CEO, Penske Media Corporation. “Premium live experiences are central to Penske Media’s future, and we are thrilled to increase our stake in SXSW, and provide the company with further backing and together write the most expansive chapter in its history."
The transaction reflects PMC’s continued investment in global live events that convene influential communities across entertainment, media, music, technology, fashion, art and culture. PMC’s portfolio of events and experiences already includes the Golden Globes, Latin Music Week, the Academy of Country Music Awards, the Billboard Music Awards, and New Year’s Rockin’ Eve, and over 315 additional live experiences produced and built by PMC brands including Billboard, Rolling Stone, Variety, The Hollywood Reporter, WWD and Sportico.
Since its founding in 1987, SXSW has grown from an Austin music event into an internationally recognized destination for discovery and connection across technology, film and television, music, education, comedy, culture and business. Each year, SXSW brings global creative and professional communities to Austin while providing a platform for the artists, entrepreneurs, innovators, and organizations that make the city distinctive.

Today, Penske Media Corporation (PMC) announced the appointment of Brent Lang to Editor-in-Chief of IndieWire, effective August 17. Based in New York City, Lang will report to Jerry Ruiz, Senior Vice President, Operations & Finance, PMC.
A widely respected journalist and editor, Lang brings a distinctive combination of editorial leadership, industry expertise, and a deep commitment to ambitious, high-quality storytelling to IndieWire.
Lang most recently served as Executive Editor of Variety, where he covered the major Hollywood studios and their corporate parents. During his tenure, he wrote cover stories on many of the industry’s most notable figures, including Christopher Nolan, Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Kevin Hart, George Clooney, Mindy Kaling, Michelle Williams, Michael J. Fox, and Benedict Cumberbatch. Since joining Variety in 2014 as a Senior Film and Media Reporter, he rose through a series of leadership roles, including New York Bureau Chief and Executive Editor, Film and Media. In 2024, he was named Entertainment Journalist of the Year by the Los Angeles Press Club.
Before Variety, Lang was a Senior Reporter at TheWrap, and his work has also appeared in The Patriot-Ledger, The Providence Journal, CBSNews.com, and Forbes. He is a graduate of Brown University and the Columbia University School of Journalism.
“Brent is a dynamic and deeply respected editor whose experience, instincts, and creativity make him exceptionally well-suited to lead IndieWire,” said Ruiz. “He brings a sophisticated understanding of the entertainment industry, a strong editorial point of view, and a clear sense of where media is headed. Just as importantly, he understands what has always made IndieWire unique with its intelligence, its authority, and its commitment to championing bold voices and original storytelling. We are thrilled to welcome Brent to IndieWire and excited for the future of the brand under his leadership.”
“I’m deeply honored to take the editorial helm of a brand I’ve admired for many years,” said Lang. “IndieWire has long stood for smart, distinctive, and fearless journalism, and it has built an extraordinary legacy by championing artists, elevating emerging voices, and covering the industry with depth and conviction. I have enormous respect for IndieWire’s founder, Eugene Hernandez, and for Dana Harris-Bridson’s profound contributions. They are responsible for building a world-class brand. I’m also incredibly grateful to Jay Penske, Michelle Sobrino, Dea Lawrence, Ramin Setoodeh, and Cynthia Littleton for the opportunities they have given me over the years. At a time of great change across media and entertainment, I believe there is tremendous opportunity ahead for a brand that has always believed in bold ideas, fresh perspectives, and the enduring power of great storytelling.”
Lang succeeds Dana Harris-Bridson, whose 15 years of editorial leadership helped to shape IndieWire into the expansive and highly regarded brand it is today. During her tenure, IndieWire broadened its focus beyond independent film into television, blockbusters, and the crafts that define the industry, while also launching standout editorial franchises including Future of Filmmaking and the In Development newsletter. Harris-Bridson is stepping down to focus on building her own projects, an exciting next chapter that reflects both the depth of her experience and her genuine desire to devote her time and energy to work she’s passionate about.
“Dana has been instrumental in shaping IndieWire into the exceptional brand it is today,” said Ruiz. “Her leadership, editorial vision, and deep commitment to the brand have left a lasting mark on IndieWire and on the many people who have had the opportunity to work alongside her. We are deeply grateful for all she has contributed and for the strong foundation she leaves behind.”
“Dana’s contributions to IndieWire have been extraordinary,” said James Israel, Publisher of IndieWire. “Her leadership helped shape the brand’s editorial identity, expand its reach, and strengthen its standing within the entertainment community. We are deeply grateful for all she has done to help build IndieWire into what it is today. At the same time, I’m excited to work alongside Brent as we begin this next chapter and continue building on that foundation with energy, ambition, and optimism for what lies ahead.”
“It’s been the privilege of my career to help lead this team and this brand to where it is today,” said Harris-Bridson. “I’m proud of everything we built together, and I’m energized by what’s next.”
The transition comes at a moment of strong momentum for IndieWire. The brand recently earned two Daytime Emmy Award nominations for its inaugural Craft Roundtables series, and Lynne Howard was recently promoted to Senior Vice President of Operations, reporting to James Israel.
Together, these leadership appointments reflect IndieWire’s continued growth, as well as a shared commitment to the values that have long defined the brand: bold journalism, authoritative storytelling, and an enduring belief in the power of original voices and ambitious editorial vision.

Said Fenton: “The momentum and evolution for the film sector now is growing rapidly, and I look forward to further focusing my efforts on this segment. I am thrilled to take on this role while continuing to work with my counterparts in television in New York and the entire talented team at Deadline.”

“Hanh’s tremendous experience both writing and editing at TVGuide.com and Zap2It.com will serve IndieWire well as we continue to dramatically expand our TV coverage,” Schneider said. “Not only does she have a keen eye for TV worth watching, but she’s plugged in with who’s creating and producing programming during this era of Peak TV.

Nguyen’s past work experience covering television for digital publications spans more than 13 years. Her most recent role of West Coast Executive Editor for TVGuide.com, where she spent more than five years, allowed her to help shape the tone of the website to be one of the top consumer sites devoted to television by spearheading coverage of events and high-profile shows. Prior to her stint at TVGuide.com, she was an Assistant Editor at Tribune Media Service’s Zap2it.com for eight years, contributing to the television, movie and pop culture coverage for the website.

As Digital Critic, a newly created role within IndieWire, Dry will cover all forms of new media — from web series to virtual reality — and report to Deputy Editor and Chief Critic Eric Kohn out of the New York base. “Jude’s a fun, feisty writer with her pulse on the zeitgeist of digital culture,” said Kohn. “She is ideally equipped to explore this emerging terrain from a critical perspective.”
Dry’s writing has been featured in numerous outlets including Splitsider, FilmLinc, Galore and Cinespect.

Los Angeles, CA — Variety has hired Sonia Saraiya as TV Critic. Saraiya, who was most recently the TV Critic at Salon, will be based in Variety’s New York offices starting on June 13. In Saraiya’s new post, she will provide expert reviews and analysis alongside Chief TV Critic Maureen Ryan.
“I’m delighted to welcome Sonia to our team at Variety. She has a smart, compelling point-of-view, and her incisive commentary will be an invaluable addition to our coverage of the ever-expanding TV business,” said Debra Birnbaum, Executive Editor, TV for Variety.
Her hire comes on the heels of several other significant Gotham staffing changes, in Variety’s continued efforts to bolster their NYC presence, such as the addition of Owen Gleiberman as Chief Film Critic and the recent promotion of Ramin Setoodeh to New York Bureau Chief.
Variety’s chief TV critic Maureen Ryan said, “I could not be more thrilled that Sonia is joining the TV team at Variety in NYC. She is a critic who brings a lively combination of insight, wit and precision to her work, which I have admired for many years. We’re so lucky she’s coming on board, and speaking personally, I’m excited at the prospect of continuing to learn from her as a co-worker, instead of simply as a fan of her interviews, analyses and critiques.”
Prior to her stint at Salon, Saraiya was the Assistant Editor: TV Club for The A.V. Club where she helped shape television coverage and tone for the TV section of the website. Her previous work has appeared in a variety of outlets, including Jezebel, Nerve, The Rumpus, and the Internet media incubator betaworks.
“It’s an honor to join the Variety team and add my voice to such a storied publication. I’m particularly excited to be sharing critical responsibilities with Maureen Ryan, an amazing television critic who I also count as a friend and mentor. I know that along with the rest of Variety’s brilliant reporters, we are going to make an amazing team covering the television industry during this particularly rich and tumultuous creative era,” said Saraiya.
Saraiya is a graduate of Brown University.

The Leaders in Entertainment and Fashion Come together to honor Innovators for their accomplishments in both worlds FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Los Angeles, CA (November 4, 2015) –Variety & WWD are launching the First Annual StyleMakers on November 19th at Smashbox Studios in Culver City, CA. The iconic publications are coming together to recognize and celebrate the creative behind-the-scenes talent in fashion, beauty and style that made an impact on the entertainment industry in the past year. For more than 100 years, these iconic trade publications have been at the forefront of reporting news on the entertainment and fashion industries.
The StyleMakers celebration spotlights innovators whose work has been seen on hits shows like ‘Scandal,’ ‘The Voice’ and ‘How To Get Away With Murder’ and red carpets at the Grammys, the Emmys and the Academy Awards. Honorees include fashion designer Zac Posen, costume designer Lyn Paolo, stylist Elizabeth Stewart, hair stylist Jen Atkin, make-up artist Lisa Eldridge and photographer Matthew Rolston. “I’m humbled and honored to be part of this fantastic array of talents,’ says Posen. “It’s remarkable that two epic and innovative publications such as WWD and Variety have come together to celebrate the transformative power of fashiontainment.”
“Entertainment and fashion are almost interchangeable today so the collaboration between our two publications is a natural,” notes WWD editor in chief Ed Nardoza. “Designers are celebrities now while actresses and actors are style leaders – sometimes even branded designers. And a costume designer, hair or makeup artist who strikes a chord through a fictional character or a red carpet style can influence the public as powerfully as the runway.”
“A collaboration with WWD is as natural as the symbiotic relationship between entertainment and fashion,” say Variety’s co editor in chief Claudia Eller. “We are thrilled to partner with our sister publication that has been such a prominent voice in the fashion industry over the decades and together honor these talented individuals.”
Smashbox Cosmetics is thrilled to celebrate the intersection of Hollywood, fashion and beauty, which inspires us everyday at Smashbox Studios. Davis Factor is honored to present the The Smashbox Visual Impact Award to Matthew Rolston. In addition to revolutionizing video and film as we know it today, Matthew has captured some of the most iconic photos in the history of photography. His impeccable eye and attention to detail has made the impossible, possible. StyleMakers is also sponsored by Mercedes-Benz, Ulta Beauty & Fromm International.
