Wayne is out of the building... for now

The Wayne Dolcefino rumor that we linked yesterday has now been confirmed by mainstream media, in the form of a Chronicle article by Bruce Westbrook:

KTRK Channel 13 undercover reporter Wayne Dolcefino has gone under cover in a new way: He's not showing up for work.

Dolcefino and station management at Channel 13 are fighting over a story he was preparing on the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. Dolcefino said the story "was killed" by the station, and said of his absence, "I'm currently reviewing my options."

Station management was unavailable for comment Wednesday.

That story moved from internet rumor mill to vetted mainstream media story in about 12 hours (since it's carrying a 6:35 pm time stamp on the Chron site).

Thanks to Laurence Simon for catching it.
