This journalist fabricates his reports
What is this about?
This blog post is about a famous journalist who made up quotes, people, and even entire stories. His fabrication resulted in the retraction of his article in the Harpers magazine.
Why is this important?
It shows that it is not only peer-reviewed journal publications that should accurately uphold norms of academic integrity, but communication of other forms of research (e.g. journalism) should also remain accurate and factual.
