Variety vs. Hollywood Reporter

Question

Ok, I have been a Hollywood Reporter subscriber for about five years now. My current subscription is close to an end and i am unsure of renewing it or not. I've only read a couple of issues of Variety, but I might change to variety for a year or two. But before I take that leap and double the subscription cost (variety will cost me $279 for the Weekly version whilst HR renewal will cost me $145, normally $175 but if I wait a couple of weeks extra they will send me a "Oh Nooo" notice and pull me back in with an improved offer) I wanted to ask you guys which of the two you read and why. And why should I choose variety instead of HR? And so on.

Any comment?

I read both but the online edition of Variety has a neat aspect in the articles. If someone mentioned in an article or their company is listed in the Studio System database, a click on the name will take you to basic contact information. Variety also offers more pictures of people, which helps if you're out here and meeting people at events.

Men for the most part can mend their ways only after they make mistakes. Only when they are frustrated in mind and in their deliberations can they stand up anew. Only when their intentions become visible on their countenances and audible in their voices can they be understood by others.

I used to subscribe to the print edition of Variety, but since it was delivered in the mail, I wouldn't see it until I came home from work... and not always then, since it it would often come two or three days late, which is fairly infuriating when you're paying a couple hundred bucks a year. Now I just subscribe to the online edition, which costs a fraction as much and is available 24 hours a day.
Don't know about the Reporter online edition, but for me, Variety online is the way to go.

Variety online database is very useful...
I tried to cancel my HR subscription for months and months, they stopped charging me but they keep sending me the mag. So I have online Variety and free HR print until someone reconciles the books...

I actually buy both but get a discount through group affiliation...

Both have great resources, I think the Variety on-line resources are a bit more comprehensive...
