LA Times still deciding what to do with reporter

Editor and Publisher's Website have posted a story in which Los Angeles Times editor Russ Stanton updates the situation with Pulitzer prize winning reporter Chuck Philips. He has not been let go from the paper but his fate is still undecided, according to the story. Philips became embroiled in controversy after it was discovered that his March 17 article linking Sean "P. Diddy" Combs to the shooting death of Tupac Shakur was based on fabricated information.
