Jayson Blair

The plagisrism performed by Jayson Blair in The New York Times was very immoral. After so many years of being a good reporter, and at the peak of his career, he was found guilty of plagirism and fabricating stories. Jayson took portions of different articles from different regions around the United States of America and used them as his own. He gathered info such as interviews, pictures, and stories that were not his own work, spiced them up a little, and printed them in his written articles. Taking other people's credit, and fabricating stories in the media is unnacceptable. He was rightfully punished by being fired, but he should have also been sued. Jayson Blair got away with his actions for so long, but it only takes one mistake to get caught. Before he started plagirising, he was a good reporter. Some people say he hit a massive writing block, some people say he got lazy, but neither one is an excuse for stealing. Other people deserved his job, and other people deserved the attention his articles received. This was wrong on many accounts.
