NEWSPAPERS

Slate's Jack Shafer on WaPo's Katharine Weymouth: "One of the things Washington Post publisher Katharine Weymouth has got to learn is that she can't pretend that the newsroom floats in its own accountable-only-to-Brauchli ether at the same time she is telling editors (plural) enough with dwarf-leg stories." Read on.

Yesterday in WaPo- "Controversy Over How, Why Post Piece Was Killed, If Publisher Weymouth Involved."

New culture editor at NYT- Jon Landman, the deputy managing editor.

TV

Norah O'Donnell is in NY, co-anchoring the 9am hour of the "Today Show." She tweets, "I may cook on TV!" and that she and her husband Chef Geoff have just finished their baby food cookbook, out in 2010.

In what NBC is calling a "world exclusive interview," Ann Curry will sit down with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in Tehran. This is his first interview since the June elections and will air on "Today" tomorrow and "Nightly News" Friday.

It appears there may be more cuts looming at NBC News- NYO reports another round of voluntary buyouts are being offered. What will that mean for the DC bureau?

NEWS NOTES

Sarah Palin has officially signed on with the Washington Speaker's Bureau (via PoliticalWire).

When asked about the latest ACORN scandal, ABC's Charlie Gibson told Chicago talk radio hosts that he hadn't heard about it and "maybe this is just one you leave to the cables."

Which brings us to this piece "Divide between right, mainstream media" by Mike Allen and Michael Calderone in Politico... "The right-wing media's single-minded focus on a handful of targets over the past months and its success in pushing those stories into the mainstream have underscored the sharp divide between traditional news organizations and the bloggers and talk show hosts aggressively pursuing an ideological agenda."

WEST WING REPORTAGE

Remember when former President George W. Bush called former NYT reporter Andrew Clymer a "major league asshole?" He does, and now he's offering his advice to Kanye West in a very entertaining piece on the Daily Best. "...I congratulate you on being chosen for our club, The Cussed Out by Higher Authority Who Didn’t Believe Microphones Work Club. Should we ever meet, I will show you the secret handshake, but I can tell you it involves an extended middle finger."

Also on the Daily Beast today- a collection of the best OTR-gone-public comments.
