ICM to Negotiate Film, TV Deals for N.Y. Times
Hollywood talent agency International Creative Management will represent New York Times Co. in negotiating film and TV deals for articles it publishes.
The paper forged the deal with Broder Webb Chervin Silbermann Agency, which will be formally absorbed by ICM next week.
Deals were previously coordinated by the paper’s legal department. According to Newspaper Guild guidelines, the company splits earnings on such deals with the journalists.
The alliance was formalized in June after a BWCS agent negotiated a deal with actor Tom Cruise’s production company for rights to an article on an Army commander discharged in Iraq.
