MUMBAI: US independent production company Zig Zag Productions has entered into an exclusive partnership with The National Enquirer, the US-based celebrity and news tabloid magazine, which is published by American Media (AMI).
Zig Zag Productions CEO, executive chairman Danny Fenton announced the partnership will generate content for a number of platforms and the first show currently in development is "Enquirer", a fast paced observational documentary series following the lives of a group of National Enquirer reporters who come together on the road from their respective bureaus in New York, Los Angeles and Florida to uncover the exclusive stories that end up shocking the world.
The National Enquirer has been breaking world news for over 30 years and stories include the Clinton/Monica Lewinsky affair, the Tiger Woods scandal and the presidential candidate John Edwards love child discovery, which earned the publication a prestigious American journalism "Pulitzer Prize" nomination in 2010.
?Enquirer? viewers will find that how the news is broken is often more interesting than the news itself.
Co-sxecutive producers for AMI of the TV show are David J. Pecker, chairman, CEO and President of AMI, and Barry Levine, National Enquirer executive editor/director of news, who is based in New York. Coordinating producer is Patricia Gonzalez.
Zig Zag VP commercial, current production Leila Monks said: "We are incredibly excited about this new partnership ? our production background and contacts paired with The National Enquirer?s access and library is going to make for some pretty explosive viewing."
Barry Levine added: "Connecting with Zig Zag at the recent Natpe convention in Miami Beach was like finding the proverbial ?Diamond in the Rough.? Their eclectic approach in factual entertainment program-making makes them the ideal fit to bring our show to life. And their success in distributing content worldwide will only enhance and expand The Enquirer?s celebrity/news brand!"
