  This Sunday I saw the movie urlLink Shattered Glass , which I found very interesting. I saw its trailer on the urlLink Station Agent DVD, but I had not heard of it before.
The urlLink plot summary : This film tells the true story of fraudulent Washington, D.C. journalist Stephen Glass (Christensen), who rose to meteoric heights as a young writer in his 20s, becoming a staff writer at "The New Republic" for three years (1995-1998), where 27 of his 41 published stories were either partially or completely made up. Looking for a short cut to fame, Glass concocted sources, quotes and even entire stories, but his deception did not go unnoticed forever, and eventually, his world came crumbling down... I didn't know it was a true story when I started watching the movie, but as I watched it I googled for "Jukt Micronics" (one of the joys with having a laptop :-) ) which was mentioned in the movie and noticed that the moview indeed was based on a true story.
Here are the original articles from Forbes Digital Tool that exposed the fraud: urlLink 1 , urlLink 2 , urlLink 3 , and urlLink Jukt Micronics fake website . Here is urlLink Salon's article from back then. Here is a urlLink list with all of the articles written by Glass , however most of the links are broken. I managed to track some of his articles down (some thanks to urlLink The Wayback Machine ): urlLink Do Something!
(about Nike) , and urlLink Market Features: Book Review: The Online Investor . But the one I found the most interesting is one article he wrote for Harper's Magizine: urlLink Prophets and losses: the futures market for phone psychics - proliferation of telephone-based fortune-telling , which has a really intriguing story and shows that he's a good writer (but I suspect this one contains some "half-truths").
However, most of his articles are not available online. I would really like to read his article "Hack Heaven" so if anyone finds that article, please urlLink let me know ! As you might suspect, I really recommed the movie. I'm not sure what it is but I found it really interesting. And the DVD featured a CBS 60 Minutes' segment: urlLink Stephen Glass: I Lied For Esteem . Btw, Stephen Glass has written a book about what happened: urlLink The Fabulist .
