Jayson Blair documentary

Hey everyone,

A new documentary by Samantha Grant tells the story of how Jayson Blair (from our readings this week) became a serial plagiarist.

The documentary will be on PBS in May.

"A Fragile Trust takes a deeper look into the mind of Jayson Blair, the serial plagiarist, and explores what caused this promising young man to make so many bad decisions, while also examining the institutional dynamics inside the Times that may have contributed to Blair's downfall."

Enjoy!
