In Washington City Paper editor Erik Wemple’s ongoing quest to apparently prove that the Washington Post is a big, bad, rotten, dirty scoundrel, he co-writes a piece this week about reporters from smaller news outlets who are angry that DC Mayor Adrian Fenty allegedly shares his newest news with WaPo first. He even quotes Post reporter David Nakamura as saying his media counterparts should “work harder” to get the big scoops.

Then, Wemple hits it really hard, saying Nakamura is ”a journalist who’s working for a grand disseminator of information. If you’re Fenty, a quick interview with Nakamura may well yield the following: A1 placement, prominent play on a Web site that gets a gazillion pageviews per day, all kinds of viral Web circulation, plus wall-to-wall coverage on Washington Post Radio. It’s a bounce that WTOP, the Examiner, the Washington City Paper, the Northwest Current, the InTowner, WRC-TV, and DC Watch—combined—would be hard-pressed to match.”

Yeah, Fenty is totally playing his media strategy all wrong. Wemple’s got us convinced, like, for sure. Next Fenty scoop to City Paper, hands down.
