Jeff Sneider
American entertainment journalist
Jeff Sneider (born c. 1984) is an American entertainment journalist and podcaster who founded the entertainment newsletter The InSneider. He graduated from the Tisch School of the Arts in 2006. Sneider started working at Ain't it Cool News under the name "MiraJeff" in 2003, then interned at Variety in 2006. He joined TheWrap in 2010 before returning to Variety in 2011, though he was fired in 2013 after making a tweet about killing himself because he lost a story to a Hollywood Reporter writer. He rejoined TheWrap thereafter but was suspended in early 2016 following a dispute with a public relations representative about a lost scoop.
Sneider was senior film reporter for Mashable later in 2016, with his tenure at that site ending following a racially insensitive declaration about the #OscarsSoWhite controversy at the Academy Awards. Sneider served as editor-in-chief of the Tracking Board from 2017 to 2018, and he joined Collider from 2018 to 2021. Sneider contributed to The Ankler from 2021 to 2022, and had a tenure as the editor-in-chief of Above the Line from 2022 until 2023, leaving because of a pay dispute. He founded his independent newsletter The InSneider in November 2023 and co-hosts his weekly entertainment podcast The Hot Mic with film critic and content creator John Rocha, where they discuss his reports.
Sneider has engaged in publicized disputes with several figures in Hollywood and the media, including allegations of harassment and threats by Deadline Hollywood founder Nikki Finke, who rejected him from the publication, and fights with his "nemesis" Deadline writer Mike Fleming Jr.

Why this record matters
“Jeff Sneider” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Jeff, Sneider and American provides the most credible route into that argument.
Biographical claims are most persuasive when dates, appointments and relationships can be traced to records created close to the events described. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 20, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q24303879. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1984, 2006, 2003 and 2010.
A concise life account rarely captures disputed attribution, private networks or the changing language used to describe a career. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
