TMZ
TMZ (Thirty Mile Zone) is a fast‑moving, video‑driven entertainment news organization founded by Harvey Levin that focuses on breaking celebrity and entertainment news, exclusive investigations, sports and music coverage, podcasts and photo galleries. It distributes content across its website, mobile apps, audio network and major social platforms, solicits tips from the public, and pairs editorial output with commerce and deals features while maintaining published legal and contact information.
Apps and distribution channels
TMZ distributes content through native mobile apps, an audio network, and heavy promotion across social platforms (Twitter/X, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok) to maximize reach. [1]

Core identity and mission
TMZ positions itself as a real‑time, video‑first entertainment news outlet focused on breaking celebrity stories, exclusives and investigative reporting delivered across multiple platforms. [4]
Exclusive reporting and investigations

Site implementation and technical notes
Companion sites (for example TMZ Audio) and some network pages use third‑party site infrastructure to host show pages, embedded players and promotional assets as part of the broader TMZ ecosystem. [8]
Sports coverage (TMZ Sports)
TMZ Sports focuses on athlete news, game‑day developments, opinion and live studio segments, integrating clips and highlights with broader celebrity coverage. [9]

TMZ solicits tips and multimedia submissions from the public via phone, email and web forms; audience tips are a key input for breaking stories and exclusives. [10]
TMZ Audio Network (podcasts and series)
The TMZ Audio Network centralizes daily and limited‑series podcasts (e.g., The TMZ Podcast, TMZ Live, TMZ Sports, The Trial of Diddy) with dedicated show pages and streaming links for listeners. [11]
