Stephen Glass

watching a movie encapsulating the sensational journalist Stephen Glass. Viewing Billy Ray’s "Shattered Glass" for the first time, I was struck by how fake and insecure Stephen Glass, a critically acclaimed journalist of The New Republic magazine, comes off. Charming his fellow journalists with fabricated adventures, con man Stephen Glass works The New Republic’s fact checking system to get his fictions printed as facts. “Shattered Glass,” based on an article by Buzz Bissinger is written and directed

Stephen Glass is a former journalist for the New Republic magazine. His rise to success, came to an end when he started to write fabricated stories that were published in the magazine. An entire movie was dedicated to Glass to show the cons of what could happen to a journalist if their job is not done right. Shattered Glass shows how the young 25-year old made up stories which involved non- existence people, places, and his own note taking for reporting the sources. Twenty-seven out of

flashy, commercialized interpretation of this tool, and played to the societal theme of entertainment, as seen in the increase of musical theater (Janaro). A true example of this stark contrast is Tennessee Williams’ tragedy The Glass Menagerie and Winnie Holzman and Stephen Schwartz’s mega-musical Wicked. Although from fundamentally different eras and using the employment of distinctive structures that correlate with the different branches of theater, at the core, these stories speak to the same idea

Before watching the movie, I knew about the Stephen Glass case but I did not know detailed events that led up to his Glass’s case being exposed. In my opinion, the movie did a great job as far as casting. The actors in the movie understood their roles and played it well although there were some moments that could have been done differently. In my opinion, there were some parts in the film that could have been dramatize and much more intense because the situation and seriousness of what was occurring

Who is Stephen Glass? Is he trustworthy and truthful or manipulative and deceitful? After watching the film Shattered Glass, the viewer is able to grasp a greater understanding of the central character in this film, Stephen Glass, and answer this question once and for all.

In the beginning of the movie, his coworkers in the office fall in love with him, making him everyone’s favorite. Abruptly, everything

[a] Although the film is not explicit on this point, what seems to be driving Stephen Glass? As best as you can tell, what are his life goals and aspirations? Did he truly "know himself," including his own strengths and weaknesses? I think what made Stephen Glass to fabricate half of his news articles was his strive to make people around him feel excited in his presence and huger of the glory he was getting from the fictional stories he was presenting one after another. But since one lie creates

“Jimmy’s World” in The Washington Post (“The Post”), Jayson Blair’s reporting for The New York Times (“The Times”), Mike Daisey’s feature on This American Life (“TAL”), Sabrina Erdely’s “A Rape on Campus” in Rolling Stone Magazine (Rolling Stone), and Stephen Glass’s stories for The New Republic— and argue that the offences in each vary in pervasiveness, level of duplicity, and impact on society. I will then scrutinize the responses of each publisher, evaluating the timeliness and approach of each. The

The main drive of Stephen Glass seems to be approval from others and recognition for his work. He puts effort in being friends with his co-workers through compliments, siding with them, and appearing humble. Throughout the movie shows Glass speaking as a guest for a journalism class that he was once in. Whether that was his imagination or not, he wants to be a role model to other aspiring journalists yet at the end it fell apart as he was exposed for his frauds. While it’s difficult to always be

Stephen Glass has a degree in law from Georgetown University Law Center but he may never practice law in the United States ever. Glass has passed the bar exam in New York and California, both states have denied him admission to the Bar. Glass removed his application to become licensed in New York and the California Supreme Court decided he lacked “the good moral character” to be a lawyer. Lacking morality in any profession is unacceptable because it proves one cannot make proper ethical decisions

article has to consist of all facts. Stephen Glass lied in some of his stories to give the extra push to make the readers read. He was able to get the job with The New Republic, because of his enticing stories, but over time Glass could not produce stories at the level of his past work without fabricating stories.
