"A staff reporter for The New York Times committed frequent acts of journalistic fraud while covering significant news events in recent months, an investigation by Times journalists has found. The widespread fabrication and plagiarism represent a profound betrayal of trust and a low point in the 152-year history of the newspaper." (NEW YORK TIMES) This article is an in-depth examination of New York Times reporter Jayson Blair and the scandal created by his fraudulent reporting and violation of journalistic ethics, noting "his tenure was brief. But the damage he has done to the newspaper and its employees will not completely fade with next week's editions, or next month's, or next year's."
