'''David "Dave" Shutton''', voiced by [[Harry Shearer]], is a newspaper reporter who works for the ''[[Media in The Simpsons#Newspapers|Springfield Shopper]]''; he wears a fedora similar to those worn by reporters of the 1940s. He first appeared in “[[Two Cars in Every Garage and Three Eyes on Every Fish]]” which probably also was his most relevant appearance. He later was seen in the episodes “[[Radio Bart]],” “[[Lisa the Beauty Queen]],”  “[[Treehouse of Horror III]],” “[[Rosebud (The Simpsons)|Rosebud]],” and “[[Old Yeller Belly]].” [[Kent Brockman]] seems to hold him in slight contempt, possibly because they work in different news media; in “[[Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part Two)]]” Shutton arrives at a scene and asks what’s going on, and Brockman replies “Oh, do your research, Shutton!” In both “[[Three Men and a Comic Book]]” and “[[$pringfield (Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Legalized Gambling)|$pringfield]]” he is disturbed while [[telephone|telephoning]]. Shutton has not made any speaking appearances since season 14's "[[Bart of War]]".
