The Awl’s got a good round-up of this developing, Tumblr-centric media spat pretty down.

Basically the Newsweek Tumblr has served as the vehicle of retaliation against a column in the WaPo penned by Howard Kurtz. Here’s a quote from the Media Matters post Choire links to:

Editors of the online column took Howard Kurtz’s Monday piece on Newsweek and its dire future, in his view, and edited with claims of inaccuracies and poor arguments.

Pretty baller. Reminds us of another creative use of copy editing to prove a point.

Also we’ve got a definition of a Tumblr by a semi-legit source as an “online column,” potentially with multiple editors. Sounds good to us.
