Tim Baysinger
Business and media journalist
I'm an award-winning journalist with 14 years of experience covering the business of media, entertainment, and sports for outlets like Broadcasting & Cable, TheWrap, Reuters, Adweek, and Axios. I’ve had a front-row seat to the industry's biggest transformations—from Netflix’s rise from DVD mailer to Hollywood powerhouse, to the collapse of legacy media models, the streaming wars, COVID-19 fallout, labor strikes, and the financial crunch facing movie theaters.
At Adweek, I helped launch the "Most Powerful Women in Sports" franchise, and at Axios, I co-authored the Media Deals newsletter, tracking M&A, funding, and bankruptcies across Hollywood and sports.
Over the years, I’ve chronicled how Wall Street’s shifting expectations forced Disney, Warner Bros., Paramount, and NBCUniversal to reimagine their futures—often at great human cost. I've made appearances on BBC World News, Yahoo Finance, Cheddar, and radio stations nationwide, offering insight into an industry that never stops rewriting its own script.
