Abstract
Since 1905, Variety has thrived as a business magazine serving the producers of popular entertainment. As such, it is a rich chronicle of the economics of pop culture. This content analysis uses the concept of commodification to explain shifts in the mix of coverage from 1906 to 2001. It finds significant evidence of commodification and a marked increase in business orientation by 1937, forty years before the rise of business reporting in American newspapers.
