Paul Schmelzer – the MinMon’s best reporter (Eric Black seems to be more of an independent than a staffer, hence the distinction) – notes the larger story behind the flap that surfaced in this post:

No hat tips from the Strib: Big ups to City Pages for last week’s bona fide scoop on the University of St. Thomas/Desmond Tutu flap. It’s spawned reports on blogs and in the corporate media alike, but CP staffer Paul Demko isn’t feeling the love. He says the Star Tribune “simply stole the scoop” without crediting the altweekly and has been emailing blogs to get its props. If it makes you feel better, CP, it happens to us all the time.

Why, yes.

It’s really pretty common.
