Fox News offered readers comprehensive coverage of Kathy Griffin’s recent topless dancing tweet, crediting no fewer than seven reporters on a 272-word writeup of the comedian’s tweet.
That amounts to roughly 39 words per reporter, if divided evenly.
While Fox News’ Kathleen Joyce is the only name on the byline of “Kathy Griffin dances topless in video while ‘celebrating the Manafort and Cohen verdicts,” the piece also required the efforts of Samuel Chamberlain, Julius Young, Adam Shaw, John Roberts, Alex Pappas and Peter Doocy — all of whom are credited at the bottom as having “contributed to this report.”

John Roberts is currently the channel’s chief White House correspondent.
Griffin, who mocked the network on Twitter, was the first to flag the Fox story’s many contributors.
Hey @FoxNews, it took seven reporters to write this story?...

HBO’s Togetherness ends its first season tonight, wrapping up eight episodes of sexual, marital, and career tension. But don’t expect neat resolution: The dramedy, created by mumblecore kings Jay Duplass, Mark Duplass, and Steve Zissis, hinges on the idea that intelligence, attractiveness, and ambition might not be enough to elevate the torture of daily existence. Amanda Peet plays Tina, who, after getting dumped, moves in with her unhappily married sister Michelle Pierson (Melanie Lynskey) and brother-in-law Brett Pierson (Mark Duplass) and their kids. Rounding out this 40-ish quartet of discontent is Alex Pappas (Steve Zissis), a not-quite-working actor who’s been evicted from his apartment. Tina becomes Alex’s career coach, trainer, and friend with no benefits. But of course it’s complicated. In the last few episodes, she’s started seeing a rich TV producer, Larry (Peter Gallagher), cock-blocked Alex, and slapped him when he finally kissed her.

Series detective fiction makes for steady work and a loyal fan base, but it's exciting to see a writer of particular talent stretch his wings beyond those conventions and try something new, especially when the new builds so carefully on the strengths of the old. George Pelecanos made his name with the Nick Stefanos private-eye novels and other series set in Washington DC. But after a stint on the production staff of The Wire, he's expanded his scope beyond signature characters. In a series, readers want to know how familiar characters will respond to new situations.
