The movie with Stephen Glass, Shattered Glass, showed not only up and coming journalists why writing fake stories is a poor example of trying to hold your job. but as well as just trying to gain respect about nothing you reported and wrote about was real, simply meaning your a LIAR. This movie proved all the aspects of just that and still managed to be entertaining and interesting provide all aspects of journalism reporting in a Newspaper office when good and bad strike. It seems you worked your entire life trying to get this job and then throw it away by making phony stories up. To me its dumb, no common sense and a lack of excellence after working so hard to get your job.
Mr Stephen Glass. fabricated 27, let me repeat 27 of his 41 or so news articles not only making him look like a goof but the entire post he works at. That worthless act not only lost him his job, his respect and any other chance at getting a writing job but criticizing that news firm and actually thinking if all their news is made up. The goal of journalism, after going to school for it and spending all that money on schooling, is to report a story, a TRUE story without fake ass facts just to get attention. Its your job to get the news, report the news and make it into a fascinating story with legit creditability
Fabrication in the world of journalism is seen as "fake" and not well recognized. Any one with common sense and in the field of journalism, other than the famous Mr Glass would agree to fullest extent of that. Using someone else’s work, creating a "real story" and writing as if it happened is nothing more than trying to impress people, and the lose of your job. I would like to thank the always not respect Stephen Glass for his unworthinesses and dumb actions to show that lying in real life at a real job is no joke and you have to be a hard headed dumb ass who wants attention to do it, aka Mr Glass.
