Janice Byung Min (born August 13, 1969) is an American editor and writer. She is currently the Co-President and Chief Creative Officer of The Hollywood Reporter-Billboard Media Group, overseeing The Hollywood Reporter and Billboard.
Min grew up in Littleton, Colorado, before earning a bachelor's in history and a master's in journalism at Columbia University in New York City. After graduating, she worked at The Reporter Dispatch in New York, covering the crime beat and local events. In 1993, she joined People magazine. There she wrote about celebrity gossip and created a weekly fashion feature. A few years later she briefly worked at Life Magazine as the assistant managing editor, before working for InStyle with the same job title.
At InStyle Min created the InStyle Weddings and InStyle Makeover publications. As editor-in-chief at Us Weekly from 2002 to 2009, she was influential in creating popular culture trends and an industry for celebrity gossip. Min also created a more celebrity-friendly editorial style and placed more emphasis on reality TV stars. Min was appointed to lead The Hollywood Reporter in 2010 as part of a turnaround effort, as the publication was doing poorly. She re-launched it as a glossy weekly magazine that emphasized in-depth news features and visuals. Min also re-worked the website. These efforts were followed by increased readership and Min's promotion to her current position in 2014.
Janice Min, the youngest of three children, was born in Atlanta to Nungsun Min, an IRS agent, and Hong Min, a zoology professor turned businessman. Her father taught at the University of Georgia and later became an executive for a medical supply company. Min's parents emigrated to the United States from Seoul, South Korea.
