Over the years, ET has earned a reputation for covering the entertainment industry with a steady stream of news stories on celebrities, film, television, music, fashion, award shows and special events in a trend-setting, groundbreaking format. By virtually creating this genre, ET paved the way for news outlets the world over to cover entertainment news. As the undisputed industry leader, ET regularly enjoys the status of being first with celebrity news and has earned a reputation as a “safe harbor” for stars to tell their stories and set the record straight about their lives. ET was also the first syndicated newsmagazine to be produced in high-definition (HD).
