Tina Brown Leaving The Daily Beast

By: Michael Sebastian

Barry Diller's IAC/InterActiveCorp and Daily Beast Editor in Chief Tina Brown will not renew her contract after it expires in January and plan to part ways, people familiar with the matter confirmed on Wednesday. The news was first reported by BuzzFeed.

Ms. Brown plans to start her own company, Tina Brown Live Media, once she leaves The Daily Beast, one of the people said. The company will be an extension of an events business she started at The Daily Beast with its Women of the Year event. Tina Brown Live Media will expand upon that, the person said, to feature "flash debates" and other events. Ms. Brown will run both the business side and programming at the events. The standalone company is expected to start operating by the end of the year, according to the person, who said it remains to be determined whether Ms. Brown will bring employees over from The Daily Beast.
