As who?
Cory Doctorow? He gets no media attention
as an author. At least no media that normal people pay attention to...
Or
E.L. Doctorow? He gets no media attention, except among literature snobs (and one Presidential award, I guess, devoted to the type of stuff that literature snobs like).
Frankly, if either of them put out a book, you hear nothing in the mainstream media. If Rowling has one coming out, it's pretty much everywhere (people are a bit too used to King, so it's not considered news when he has something coming out :P - but it doesn't need to be, since he can sell on his name alone).
