11/20/15 - Shattered Glass Reflection

For reading time today:  https://vimeo.com/30824692


  1. What does this movie say about society’s expectations from journalists? 






  1. If everything and everybody in Glass’ stories were made up, was what Glass did such a bad thing?  Who did it hurt?






  1. Can you think of similar instances of either academic dishonesty or plagiarism in the past few years?  Do you know what Jayson Blair did?  What James Frey did?  Who Hwang Woo-suk is?  What Brian Williams did?






  1. What penalties did Glass face? Do you think they were adequate?








  1. Watch the “60 Minutes” interview with Stephen Glass. Do you believe Glass in the interview? Why or why not?
