TVNewser blogger Brian Stelter, a recent graduate of Towson University, has been hired by the New York Times to cover the business of television.
The Gawker blog notes that the hiring couldn’t have come at a worse time for Bill Carter, who also covers the TV business for the Times.
“Youch! Guess Carter’s sources at HBO don’t get him unfettered access to popular mob series producers. Not great timing today, either—because the NYT Business section has hired Brian Stelter, the 21-year-old wunderkind behind the TV Newser blog, to be a T.V. ‘media reporter’ on the web.
“Young Brian’s job sounds similar to the position that the Times had offered to former New York Observer TV reporter Rebecca Dana, but with less ‘what’s this new media internet mobile thing the kids are into.’ When rumors of unknown provenance made the rounds that Dana had said—jokingly, and possibly years ago—that she was going to ‘kick Bill Carter’s ass’ or some such, her offer was quickly changed to a three-year intermediate reporter position, an unexpected and unappreciated re-offer that she wisely declined.”
