Brian Stelter’s CableNewser blog has been bought by media networking company Mediabistro.com. Stelter tells Jossip he met with Mediabistro.com last month and editor in chief Jesse Oxfeld offered him a monthly retainer to write for the rebranded blog TVNewser. Stelter, an 18-year-old college student who founded the cable news-addicted blog in January, is the first of Mediabistro.com’s just-launched “Blogs Initiative,” Jossip says.
Starting today, Stelter is now covering the broadcast networks along with the cable news channels. He’s also doing more Q&A interivews and live-blogging convention coverage. “And there are some surprises in store for the fall,” he says.
