    The Times' Sluggish Metabolism

    The Associated Press says Britney Spears is now "a big deal", writes Brian Stelter, the New York Times' wunderkind media reporter. An interesting story, but strangely familiar. Because it was reported on "various media blogs" a full six days ago. 22-year-old Stelter came to the notice of the Times because of his obsessive and to-the-minute reporting on the one-man blog he started as a hobby, the excellent TV Newser. Shame to see his journalistic metabolism slow so quickly.
