No More “Felcholino” at the LA Times

Ralph Frammolino, part of the tenacious investigative duo at the LA Times (also including Jason Felch) that brought down Barry Munitz‘s presidency at the J. Paul Getty Trust, is one of 60 journalists leaving the paper as part of its overhaul under new publisher David Hiller.
Felch informs me that Frammolino volunteered for a buyout, “feeling his 27+ years at the paper were enough.” Jason remains at the paper, but is on leave till August, working with his erstwhile investigative partner on a book based on their Getty exploits, tentatively titled “Chasing Aphrodite” and due out in late 2008 from Harcourt Trade Publishers.
Put me on that press-copy list!
