Background
Two months after Ebert's death, Chaz Ebert hired film and television critic Matt Zoller Seitz as editor-in-chief for the website[3] because his IndieWire blog PressPlay shared multiple contributors with RogerEbert.com, and because both websites promoted each other's content.[4]
RogerEbert.com has routinely hosted a "Women Writer's Week" in honor of Women's History Month, featuring content from female contributors for the entire week.[6] Following the 2016 United States presidential election, the "Women Writer's Week" in 2017 was described by Observer to be "overtly political thanks to President Donald Trump". Chaz Ebert said the 2017 Women's March helped motivate female contributors to contribute their perspective to film and politics.[7]
Year end lists
Roger Ebert compiled "best of the year" movie lists beginning in 1967 until 2012. Since Ebert died, the practice has continued since 2014 with his website. The primary contributors do a Borda count where each critic ranks films, with ten points for the first-placed film to one point for the tenth-placed film. The scores are compiled and best film of the year is based on poll results.[8]
