NEWSPAPERS | TV | RADIO | ONLINE | JOBS NEWPAPERS NYT's Washington bureau chief Dean Baquet spoke to a group of Columbia University students. "Your generation will get to reinvent journalism in a more meaningful way." Finally, some good news. Steve Coll and Matthew Yglesias ponder whether the death of newspapers as we know them would really be apocalyptic on NPR's On the Media.

Some think the NYT overplayed the Nixon Tapes. What exactly is a master of "snarky mimesis" because I think my co-editor Matt Dornic just may be one too... Media Matters takes a look at the NYT's review of David Denby's book "Snark," in which he pronounces Tom Wolfe and Maureen Dowd masters of "snarky mimesis." TV President Obama's address this evening will run about 50 minutes long with applause. RADIO No surprise that Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity top Talkers Magazine 2009 Heavy Hundred list, but you maybe surprised that DC local NPR's Diane Rehm is all the way down at #92. Imus is #20, Rachel Maddow #46. ONLINE More Howard Kurtz on Twitter in his online chats. "Look, Twitter may turn out to be a fad, and I noted in my piece that it has an incestuous quality. But I've got 2,900 people following me on Twitter and they aren't all Beltway insiders by a long shot.

It has its limitations, but it's also an intriguing form of communication." JOBS News Distribution Network, Inc. is looking for an account manager.
