Der Spiegel Has a Stephen Glass Problem: Its Star Reporter -- and a CNN "Journalist of the Year"!!! -- Has Committed Journalistic Fraud "On a Grand Scale," Fabricating Interviews and Whole StoriesTrust Your Media Betters, the International Version. Lugenpresse (add your own umlaut), says JEM: German weekly Der Spiegel says one of its star reporters has left the publication after committing journalistic fraud "on a grand scale" over a number of years. Very much like Stephen Glass.
Now, here's the original source for the story, Der Spiegel. In recent years, DER SPIEGEL published just under 60 articles by reporter and editor Claas Relotius. He has now admitted that, in several instances, he either invented stories or distorted facts. Inventing whole stories was a Stephen Glass specialty. Claas Relotius, a reporter and editor, falsified his articles on a grand scale and even invented characters, deceiving both readers and his colleagues. This has been uncovered as a result of tips, internal research and, ultimately, a comprehensive confession by the editor himself. That was the technique used by the New York Times' fabricator, Jayson Blair. By doing so, he created composite characters of people who actually did exist but whose stories Relotius had fabricated. He also made up dialogue and quotes. Blair did that too. But Blair mostly made up anodyne quotes that wouldn't cause anyone to sue or even complaint that much. His fake quotes were things people might actually say, so when they saw themselves being fake-quoted, they also said, "Meh." Some of them would later report to other reporters they didn't complain because they sort of assumed all reporters did that. Which I don't think is as far from the truth as the media would like. ... More at the link. Anyone want to bet that the made-up stories appealed to his editors' leftwing and anti-American biases, as Steven Glass' stories appealed to his editors' leftwing and anti-GOP biases? Too good to check. Oh -- apologies. Thanks to JEM for this! | Access Comments | Recent Comments
