Journo Director 'Perplexed' With Weigel Coverage, Calls Scribe's Work 'Digital Thin'

Terry Michael, Executive Director of the Washington Center for Politics & Journalism, offers commentary on coverage of Slate‘s Dave Weigel.

Subject line: Why David Weigel?

An open note to Mediabistro:
I am continually perplexed by your fascination with David Weigel.  I just don’t get it.  He has proved time and again that the resemblance between his work and journalism is digital thin, if not non-existent.  He is a shameless self-promoter, whose behavior has often been an embarrassment to himself and to those who actually engage in serious news coverage.
