SHATTERED GLASS OF STEPHEN

Who is the worst enemy in journalism? The politician, the celebrities or the fellow journalists themselves? 10 years experienced as editor, my worst enemy will be another breed of Stephen Glass. I've been firing writers just because I saw another Stephen Glass in them. So who is this Stephen Glass?

I described him as...

'a man who sees nothing but himself but still wants to be a part of the world'

— I Say

Stephen Glass (born 1972) is an American paralegal who was previously a reporter for The New Republic; he was eventually fired for fabricating articles, quotations, sources and events. The story of Glass's downfall is told in the 2003 film Shattered Glass.

Days of decent editors will always become worse when facing writers/journalists who dream of becoming big in the journalism industry but turn out to be another Stephen Glass wannabe... pathetic!
