Do "media heavies" read USA Today?
Howard Kurtz's (unfriendly) quote in the Washington Post: "Washington City Paper Editor Erik Wemple thinks he knows why the Jack Kelley scandal hasn't gotten much media traction. In a database search, he writes, the Jayson Blair debacle garnered 1,428 mentions in U.S. newspapers in the two weeks after the New York Times detailed his fabrications. The Kelley count after USA Today's investigation was published: 103 hits. Wemple's analysis after some interviews: "Media heavies don't read USA Today." (Here's another factor: Howell Raines, NYT, who had to quit, was far better known than Karen Jurgensen, USAT, who had to quit.)"
