THE JAYSON BLAIR PLAGIARISM CASE
 BY JUSTIN MARTIN, MICELA SIMPLICIANO-MEDINA,
      CHRISTIAN DAVIS, AND MARK MIJARES
WHO

NAME: JAYSON BLAIR
OCCUPATION: EX-NY TIMES
REPORTER
DOB: 1976 IN VIRGINIA
ETHNICITY: AFRICAN-AMERICAN
HAIR COLOR: BLACK
EYE COLOR: DARK BROWN
WHAT

CASE: JAYSON BLAIR WAS CHARGED IN THE ACT OF
  PLAGIARISM AND FRAUDULENCE. THERE WERE
  MANY ARTICLES FOUND IN HIS WRITING OVER A
  FOUR YEAR SPAN THAT INCLUDED MANY PIECES
  OF LYING, FRAUDULENCE AND PLAGIARISM. TO
  BE MORE SPECIFIC, THEY FOUND MORE THAN 600
  ARTICLES OR WRITINGS CREATED BY HIM FILLED
  WITH FALSE INFORMATION.
WHERE

ARTICLES RANGING FROM FAMILIES OF SOLDIERS
  IN IRAQ OR HOMES OF PEOPLE RANGING FROM
  WEST VIRGINIA, TEXAS, A SOLDIERS FUNERAL
  IN OHIO, AND MANY OTHER PLACES. HE
  RECREATED THESE STORIES WITHOUT EXACTLY
  BEING IN THESE AREAS.
WHY

HE WAS ASKED IN AN INTERVIEW WHY HE
  PLAGIARIZED AND LIED ABOUT HIS STORIES
  WHILE HE WAS A WORKER FOR ONE OF THE
  GREATEST NEWSPAPERS. HE REPLIED TO THE
  INTERVIEWER THAT IT WASN'T WHAT HE
  INTENDED TO DO AND IT WASN'T WHAT HE
  WANTED (SPEAKING OF MAKING THIS MOMENT AN
  EMBARRASSING CHAPTER FOR THE NEW YORK
  TIMES)
WHEN

ON MAY 1, 2003, JAYSON BLAIR RESIGNED FROM WORK AT
  THE NEW YORK TIMES AFTER BEING CHARGED WITH
  PLAGIARISM FOR WRITING A STORY ABOUT A FAMILY OF
  AN AMERICAN SOLDIER IN IRAQ. INVESTIGATORS LOOKING
  INTO THE CASE OF JAYSON BLAIR FOUND OUT THAT AT
  LEAST 36 FAKE OR PLAGIARIZED STORIES BETWEEN
  OCTOBER 2002 AND APRIL 2003.
HOW

JAYSON BLAIR RESIGNED FROM THE NY TIMES WHEN HE WAS
  QUESTIONED WHETHER HIS STORIES/ARTICLES WERE TRUE
  OR IF THEY WERE PLAGIARIZED AND FABRICATED. HE
  ADMITTED ON AN INTERVIEW THAT WHAT HE DID WAS
  WRONG, BUT NEVER GAVE A CLEAR EXPLANATION OF WHY
  HE DID IT. HE ALSO RELEASED A BOOK CALLED "BURNING
  DOWN MY MASTER'S HOUSE" EXPLAINING THAT HE KNOWS
  WHAT HE DID WAS WRONG AND IN THE BOOK IT EXPLAINS
  HIS SIDE OF THE STORY AND WHAT LED HIM TO DO THESE
  THINGS AND BEING ABLE TO GET AWAY WITH IT.
CONSEQUENCES

JAYSON BLAIR DID NOT RECEIVE ANY PUNISHMENT IN THE
  WAY OF THE DOLLAR BILL. HOWEVER, HE LOST SOMETHING
  WHICH SOME PEOPLE BELIEVE IS GREATER THAN MONEY.
  THAT MY FELLOW VIEWERS, IS WHAT WE CALL
  CREDIBILITY OR TRUST. SEE, HE WROTE SO MANY LIES
  AND FALSE INFORMATION THAT NO ONE KNOWS WHAT TO
  BELIEVE FROM HIM, SUCH AS IF HE IS TRULY
  REMORSEFUL ACCORDING TO HIS BOOK. CREDIBILITY
  TAKES A LONGER TIME TO GAIN BACK THEN MONEY, YOU
  CAN'T JUST WORK FOR IT LIKE MONEY. ONE MUST
  ACTUALLY DESERVE IT OVER TIME OF PROVING ONE'S
  SELF.
THE END




THIS CONCLUDES OUR POWERPOINT
