  Journalism scandals - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
As their reputations for accuracy and truthfulness are arguably the most important assets of mass media outlets, many strictly enforce codes of journalistic ethics and carefully screen their reports for factual accuracy, publishing corrections even for minor errors soon after a story appears.

Journalism critics tend to complain that journalists often refuse to discuss journalism in general and conceptual terms which complicates discussion between the critics and journalists.
It is especially problematic for journalism, because the illusion of correspondence is the cornerstone of news.

 Jayson Blair - Wikipedia
Jayson Blair was the former New York Times reporter who admitted to journalism fraud after it was found that he had faked quotes, submitted false expense reports to make it seem that he was travelling the country reporting and plagiarized from other newspapers.
Several months before his exposure and resignation, Blair covered such high-profile cases as the Washington DC sniper, but there is no evidence that he ever went to Washington.
The interview was later found to have been entirely falsified; Lynch's parents said that they never spoke to Blair and that he made references in his article to "nonexistent tobacco fields and cattle".

 Science fiction | The San Diego Union-Tribune
Thus he has given us "The Great Betrayal," a book-length argument that fraud exists, that it is part of a larger culture of fraud, and that, at risk of undermining its revered place as a lantern of truth, science as a whole has done far too little to combat it.
And so arises one of the first objections to the impression Judson leaves that fraud is rampant: his broad definition of fraud.
The point that fraud exists, and that the culture of science itself can facilitate fraud, can be made just as easily, probably better, without this distraction.

Of the 10 stories by Delio published by Tech Review, Susan Rasky, a professor of journalism at the University of California at Berkeley and her graduate students, were able to verify three.
Technology Review seems an unlikely place to find journalism fraud, but someone pointed out that the stories involved were business stories, not technology, and perhaps they were just out of their league.

Gaining convictions under other relevant laws dealing with fraud, and theft, are also difficult to come by because the typical prosecutor does not pursue such cases for fear of censorship claims or for fear of revealing the fact that the "author" is a dressed-up pigeon protected by government immunity.
