My Entertainment World is a Canadian-American media website that focuses on journalistic coverage of the entertainment and leisure realms.

The website focuses on seven types of entertainment: television, film, theater, music, books, sports, and video games. Coverage of each type is organized into a related sub-website within the page domain. The sub-pages are known as "My(entertainment type)", (i.e. MyTV).

My Entertainment World focuses on "yearly awards, exclusive interviews, editorials, news and reviews."[1]

The site is mainly based in Boston, New York City, and Toronto.

History

The website was started in 2006 by managing editor and Toronto native, Kelly Bedard, who started the website after she realized that she had accumulated multitudes of self-written television reviews of Buffy the Vampire Slayer during her time at Boston University.[1]

Coverage

My Entertainment World publishes interviews, reviews and editorials on the subject of TV, Theatre, Film, Music, Games, Sports and Books with theatre coverage focused on Toronto, New York, London (UK) and Boston.[2] Theatre is the largest branch in terms of amount of content produced each month.[3]

The staff reports yearly from San Diego Comic-Con,[4] The Toronto Fringe Festival,[5] The Tony Awards[6] and The Toronto International Film Festival[7] among other events.

Staff

The My Entertainment World staff consists of a 6-person editorial team and upwards of 40 Staff Writers and Contributing Authors across seven departments.[8]

Notable contributors include screenwriter Jason Hellerman,[9] actors Chris Behmke[10] and Brianna Bisson,[11] comedian Colin Munch,[12] SIMCOE bassist Mike Strizic,[13] and novelist Alyxandra Harvey.[14]

Awards

In January, My Entertainment World publishes a list of nominated artists from the previous calendar year in contention for the MyTV, MyTheatre, MyCinema or MyGames Awards.[15] Winners are announced in the spring following a lengthy Nominee Interview Series[16] and a live awards ceremony in Toronto.[17]
