This is Romenesko

Jim Romenesko, king of the media bloggers, is modest about his role in the Howell Raines downfall: "I just post the stories." For this feature on him in Saturday's L.A. Times he declines to let the reporter see the Evanston, Ill. apartment where he posts or allow photos: "It's not pretty." His routine (which should scare any diehard media blogger) is to wake up at 5 a.m., check email before he gets out of bed, and sometimes not shower or dress until the afternoon while he posts. Yes, he is single.
