Elaine Low

Elaine was a senior entertainment business reporter at Insider's Los Angeles bureau, covering the evolution of Hollywood's business model in the streaming age, as well as issues of equity and representation in the industry.

Previously, she was a senior TV business reporter for Variety, where she wrote cover stories on Netflix's Bela Bajaria and the company's global programming strategy, Mindy Kaling's growing comedy empire, Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn's fashion-meets-e-commerce series at Amazon Studios, and Hollywood's reckoning over representation in the wake of national Black Lives Matter protests. 

Prior to that, she spent nearly five years as a reporter and producer for Investor's Business Daily on the entertainment, retail and personal finance beats. Her IBD Weekly cover stories ranged from the gender wealth gap to the self-care industrial complex to the e-commerce retail wars.
