WSJ's Bandler heads to Fortune

Longtime Wall Street Journal reporter James Bandler is leaving the newspaper to work at Fortune magazine, Portfolio reports.
In his departure letter to his colleges, Bandler recalls the "extrodinary journalism" he witnessed and the important stories he had a chance to work on while at the newspaper.

"My last boss, Mark Maremont, had the foresight to propose the project on stock option manipulations. It took a lot of courage for the paper to run the first story. Our editors made sure that plenty of space was available for ensuing follow-ups. The impact of the stories was considerable: more than 70 corporate officers and directors were fired and 18 were criminally charged."
