Doug Frantz
A Washington Post memo confirms that investigative reporter Doug Frantz is joining the paper as national security editor. “Doug comes to us with an impressive body of work and considerable experience producing and overseeing ambitious journalism,” says the memo. “He is a former managing editor and investigative reporter for the Los Angeles Times. He also was an investigative reporter, foreign correspondent, and investigations editor at the New York Times. In addition, he spent eight years as an investigative reporter for the Chicago Tribune.”
The full memo is after the jump.
