Another One Bites the Dust: Ingrassia Ankles 'Daily News' Features Dept.
Word this afternoon is that Michele Ingrassia, a features writer at the Daily News is the latest of Orla Healy's minions to hit the road. She's been at the News since 2000, where she wrote on fashion, lifestyle, and social trends; she arrived from Newsday, where she'd most recently covered politics, and before that was at Newsweek. We're told this makes the eighth resignation since Healy arrived. (Lance Gould's departure, we're now hearing, was also a resignation, rather than, as we heard Friday, a firing.) Of course, this might not be a problem for Healy: We're also told she wants her sections to be largely freelance-driven. Which no doubt makes the remaining staffers feel great, too.
