In 1998, Stephen Glass was an eager and promising young journalist. He worked as an editor and journalist for The New Republic, a magazine that describes itself as uplifting the voice of “creative thinkers, united by a collective desire to challenge the status quo.” But while working for The New Republic, Glass proved himself to be perhaps too creative of a thinker. He was a fraud.

For three years, Stephen Glass provided gripping tales to his colleagues and the readers of The New Republic. As an editor and journalist at The New Republic, Glass quickly established himself as an invaluable asset to the editorial staff.Buzz Bissinger, a writer for Vanity Fair,believed that Glass’s “skill at creating incredibly complex scenes and… accommodating personality” contributed to his outstanding reputation and solidified his status as a respected journalist.

In May of 1998, Stephen Glass published an article titled “Hack Heaven” in The New Republic. In it, he exposed a “‘teenage computer hacker by the name of Ian Restil, who sought to extort thousa

What was the biggest scandal in TNR history? Was it the 1994 publication of Charles Murray’s and Richard Herrnstein’s “Race, Genes and I.Q.,” an excerpt from their infamous book The Bell Curve? Was it Stephen Glass’s mind-boggling plagiarism that began the following year? Or was it the magazine’s support for George W. Bush’s 2003 invasion of Iraq? (Yeah, it was a rough 10 years for this magazine.)

There’s no right answer, but only one of those scandals was considered spectacular enough to warrant a Hollywood movie—and a good one at that. For three years, the young Glass charmed and hoodwinked his co-workers as he delivered one dazzling, too-good-to-check story after another. It all came crashing down thanks to a Forbes exposé, and Glass left journalism for good and set about reinventing himself as a lawyer. So it was dramatic, to say the least, when TNR in 2014 sent former staff writer Hanna Rosin, who had been Glass’s best friend at the time of the scandal, to confront him—and he agreed to talk at length about the incalculable damage he did to this magazine and his own profe

Stephen Glass

Stephen Glass (born 1972) is a disgraced former journalist, now infamous for falsifying dozens of stories over his time at The New Republic magazine. Industrious and creative, he invented sensational accounts of drunken rapists at conservative conventions, absurd tales of teenage hackers, and other stories that had no backing in reality; he would eventually acknowledge that 27 of the 41 pieces he wrote for The New Republic had been fabricated either in part or in whole, with similar freelance lies also making their way into the pages of other big name publications like Harper's and the now-defunct George.^[1]

Background

Bullshit begins

Glass was hired by The New Republic in 1995 as an editorial assistant, and was soon writing articles for them. His first noticeable article was one called "Taxis and the Meaning of Work," which had his first bit of fabrication, where he invented dialogue of a black taxi driver and a robbery scene in an article that had been largely factual up until then. As his coworkers and bosses were impressed,
