Robert Dowling Jr Dies; former Hollywood Reporter Publisher Was 83
31.12.2022 - 01:09 / deadline.com
Robert Joseph “Bob” Dowling, the former publisher and editor in chief of The Hollywood Reporter for 17 years, died December 30 after a short illness. He was 83.
Born on Long Island in New York on September 16, 1939, Dowling was given up by his birth mother and spent his first three years in a series of foster homes before his final adoption. Dowling believed that the sense of unease this created in him would drive his lifelong capacity to instinctively recognize motivations and quickly assess situations.
Dowling was a natural salesman. As he described in his 2019 memoir “My Life…and then some,” selling became second nature to him due to his ability to empathize with those on the other side of the deal.
He entered magazine publishing in his 20s and became editor and publisher of a variety of publications, including American Druggist, High-Tech Marketing, Menswear and Sports Marketing News. As he was the first to admit, he knew little about the industry he was covering at the time. “I was always launching something or improving something,” he once said.
Dowling joined The Hollywood Reporter in September 1988 as president before being named publisher and editor in chief of what was understood to be the distant second showbiz trade in town after Daily Variety. He moved his family from Westport, Connecticut to Los Angeles to take the position despite having no experience in entertainment and zero understanding of how the business worked.
Dowling threw himself into the job by taking appointments with leaders from film, television, music and live entertainment in his first year on the job. He educated himself from the inside, peppering those who ran things with endless questions to learn what they knew.
