Things You Might Have Missed If You Only Read Romenesko

Since media news guru Romenesko has an odd hatred of bloggers and loathes linking to blogs even when they have interesting material that his readership would enjoy, we wanted to make sure that you weren’t missing anything by only reading his super-duper no-longer-as-comprehensive-as-it-once-was site.

Thus in this new regular feature we’ll round-up the media news that’s interesting and yet missing from the world of Romenesko.

This week, if you’d only read him, you would have missed:

• Fox and OSHA had some trouble.

• NBC and the White House got in some hot water over the First Lady’s trip to Africa (this even made it into the NY Post today).

• The Washington Post had a big week. In addition to killing off/retiring the Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, its managing editor reported that the paper is entering a period of “radical evolution.” Plus it hired and shifted some reporters around.

• Urban affairs reporter Maria Hinojosa left CNN and FNC’s Linda Vester is about to depart on maternity leave, and Greta Van Sustern is making waves in Aruba.

• The White House press corps got in trouble this week for its cell phones, and they can’t even touch the furniture.

• The photog behind one of the soon-to-be infamous photos in Ed Klein’s Hillary Clinton “book” thinks the moment is misrepresented.

• Bill Moyers rocked the Daily Show.

• Ending long-time speculation, the New York Times does indeed use Friendster to report its Style stories.

• And Howard Kurtz discovered sarcasm.
