The team behind Wikipedia is trying to build the Bleacher Report of entertainment
The entertainment fan community site Fandom – born out of the Wikipedia braintrust – has quietly built a large and deep audience. The company's management team is trying to recreate Bleacher Report's playbook – by taking a vibrant website populated largely by content produced by consumers and professionalizing it. The company recently received a funding boost from prominent media investor and former top News Corp and AOL executive Jon Miller.
