MEDIA: PRESS;British newspapers are engaging in an exhaustive run of insider chatter.

By American standards, British newspaper journalism is a small and insular world that sometimes seems populated by surprisingly few people -- mostly the journalists, their friends and their enemies. They constitute a minuscule but powerful village that helps make up what Londoners call "the chattering classes," and many issues are devoted each week to their lives and opinions. The newspapers encourage these cozy self-referential habits by letting their reporters develop their own small cults of personality. Each week, in both the tabloids and the broadsheets, celebrity writers lavishly describe the minutiae of their lives. Political columns are illustrated by photographs and pithy descriptions of columnists, as in "Simon Heffer: the Pundit the Politicians Dread," who appears in The Daily Mail of London. Newspapers regularly print the names of profile writers in larger type than the names of those profiled.
