"With dismaying regularity, papers across the country are realizing that they've been had by cheating reporters. Jayson Blair's bamboozling of the New York Times, the most headline-grabbing example, is among the reasons we've since heard of sin after sin after sin....That's because the Times' stark mea culpa, which publicly detailed not only Blair's lies but how the paper missed them, set a new standard for burned papers: You confess, you're contrite, and then you clean house." (AMERICAN JOURNALISM REVIEW) This article examines the numerous and flagrant plagiarism and fabrication incidents that have occurred at major U.S. newspapers and reveals what is being done to prevent them from happening in the future.
