Ep. 134 Loving Lies

<p>Stephen Glass’s story is legendary in certain circles –  he is one of the most famous liars in journalism. In 1998, as a young writer for the New Republic and other magazines, Glass fabricated more than 40 articles. And not just small details, he made up whole characters and scenes.</p> <p>His story even became a film called <em>Shattered Glass.</em></p> <p>After Glass was caught, he had to somehow put his life back together again. He did find employment (not as a journalist) and he had a longtime partner. He decided he’d live by a simple rule: always tell the truth.</p> <p>But when Duke Sanford professor Bill Adair invited Glass to speak to his ethics class, he discovered a little-known part of Glass’s story. He had vowed not to lie again, but he found he had to break that promise.</p> <ul> <li><a href= "https://airmail.news/issues/2021-12-4/loving-lies">Read the article Loving Lies</a> on Air Mail</li> <li><a href= "https://policy360.org/2022/01/12/ep-134-loving-lies/">Get show notes, transcript & credits</a></li> </ul>
