		Glass now lives in New York City, and has written a novel about his life called “The Fabulist.” He hopes to be admitted to the state bar, and he's passed the written exam - but there are questions about his character and his fitness to practice law.

	The incomplete contrition of serial liar Stephen Glass. - By Jack Shafer - Slate Magazine
		Stephen Glass lay low after New Republic Editor Charles Lane busted him in 1998 for fabricating hundreds of facts, quotations, individuals, and events in dozens of stories.
		On Friday, Nov. 7, Glass accelerated his coming out by appearing on an ethics panel at George Washington University where more than 60 students, faculty, and journalists listened as he discussed his transgressions in a soft voice and took questions from the audience.
		Glass probably thinks that his therapy has set him on a course that will return him to humanity's good graces, and that his five years of self-imposed silence and urban hermitry constitute some sort of penance.

	CNN.com - Review: Glittering, finely pointed 'Glass' - Oct. 31, 2003
		Glass went from being one of the most sought-after journalists in Washington, D.C., to almost wrecking The New Republic magazine with his lies and deceptions.
		Glass was able to pull this off because so many of his stories were based on notes he kept private, supposedly taken during events that didn't happen.
		Glass also had a refreshing, self-deprecating personality, which set him apart from many of his glory-seeking, dog-eat-dog colleagues.

	Stephen Glass' former colleagues say journalist's deception should have been obvious
		As editor of The New Republic, a Washington-based weekly magazine known for its lively stories about politics and public policy, Lane discovered he had just published a totally fabricated article by Stephen Glass, who once was considered the publication's fastest rising star.
		Jonathan Chait, a New Republic senior editor who was Glass' best friend at the magazine five years ago, agreed that the movie "was highly accurate in recounting the details" of how Glass used an uncanny knack for playing to people's psyches to publish stories that seem, in hindsight, patently ridiculous.
		Glass, who is portrayed by "Star Wars" star Hayden Christensen, has described "Shattered Glass" as "my own personal horror film." Although he declined to be interviewed for this story "due to other commitments," Glass, 31, told the Associated Press recently that he found the movie "extremely painful and difficult to watch.

		Glass was, at the time, the youngest employee at a magazine where the median was 26, meaning Glass was likely even younger than that or just at that age.
		Glass had managed to, by initially printing stories that were “mostly true” but adding quotes to make them “perfect” or more interesting, gain the public’s and his editor’s trust.
		Oh, Glass goes out of his way to create the illusion that such things existed once he realizes that another magazine is riding the tail of The New Republic, catching the big boys at last in a whopper of a lie.

		For years, Stephen Glass had regaled his colleagues with journalistic feats, only to have them eventually discover that they were mere mumbo jumbo, as few of them had little more than a grain of truth to them.
		Stephen Glass is portrayed as a slightly obnoxious, self-deprecating character, who binds his colleagues to him through his smarmy, somewhat ingratiating.
		Stephen Glass was a pathological liar and a con artist, but far more interesting than Glass are the holes in journalism's fact-checking systems that his success revealed and the willingness of a bunch of the nation's supposedly bright up-and-coming journalists to believe things that were so obviously preposterous.

	Stephen Glass story is a shrewd, riveting condemnation of print media
		Stephen Glass is a young, former staff writer for "The New Republic" who fell hard from grace in 1998 when an online competitor disclosed that just about every article he wrote over a period of years had been partially or totally faked.
		Since his only punishment for this high crime was a six-figure book deal, and since he stands to profit in some way large or small from the film version of his story, it's hard for a critic to go into this movie without a chip on his shoulder the size of Texas.
		Yet I am forced to admit that "Shattered Glass" is the sharpest journalism thriller I've seen in years: an absolutely riveting drama that doesn't glorify its subject in the slightest and shrewdly says a lot of very sad things about the state of modern journalism.

	Gerald Peary - film reviews - Shattered Glass
		Stephen Glass, the baby-faced New Republic reporter who was fired in 1998 when it was verified that 47 of his 61 stories were partly or totally fabricated, made a "60 Minutes" appearance some weeks ago, and can "Leno" and "Letterman" be far off?
		And when his Glass is caught in his bundle of lies, Christensen wiggles and squirms and makes up more uncanny stories to get out of it, the awesome improvs of a jazz musician pro squealing on his horn.
		The great section of Shattered Glass is the half hour in which Lane finally guts it out and makes a move, ultimately firing Glass, driving the begging, groveling reporter away from his desk, his computer, and out of the New Republic office forever.

	Glass Houses - By Jack Shafer - Slate Magazine
		Glass was fired last week by TNR after a Forbes reporter alerted TNR editor Charles Lane that an article about a teen-age computer hacker ("Hack Heaven," May 18) was full of fabrications, and Lane's own investigation confirmed that Glass had made things up wholesale in many New Republic pieces.
		Glass skillfully eases you in by "reporting" that assistants serve bond dealers lunch at their desks and do their Christmas shopping for them.
		One final clue should have alerted us--readers and editors--to Glass' deception: Life is not so good that it places reporters at the center of action as frequently as it did the young Glass.

		Glass encounters a world far stranger than his own fabrications -- one populated by eccentric coworkers, ailing animals, angry masseuses, sexy librarians, competitive bingo players, synchronized swimmers, a soulful stripper, and a mysterious guardian angel who dresses only in purple.
		Glass turned to law school after his defrocking: on nearly every page of this tome, he makes clear that he still wants to be one of the young "Masters of the Universe" that he once was, a power broker and policy maker.
		Glass cannot extend his imagination and interest enough to write about anyone except himself, and his refusal to probe his own psyche leaves his only important character (himself) blank and dull.

		The main thrust of the film is the gradual exposure of the lies that Glass has been perpetrated within his stories.
		His Glass is manipulative and deceitful to the point where it is an act that he delivers naturally – it was a difficult character to do and, despite him not being showy, he gets it bang on and he delivers the same character throughout while just allowing the audience's perception of him to change.

	Stopping Stephen Glass
		THE STEPHEN GLASS of "Shattered Glass" is an effete, unstable sycophant.
		Glass dazzles the staff at his magazine with improbable story ideas--among them a young Republican orgy, a cult devoted to Alan Greenspan, and finally, a computer hacker named Ian Restil, who extorts thousands of dollars from a software behemoth called Jukt Micronics.
		But "Shattered Glass" fictionalizes nearly every character outside of Glass, Penenberg, Kelly, and Lane (with the notable exception of Marty Peretz, who is mostly an off-screen presence) and it is here that the movie makes its first wrong turn.

	OpinionJournal - Taste
		In the 1990s, Stephen Glass set about making a career in this kind of journalism with remarkable zeal, writing dozens of articles in the New Republic and elsewhere that he made up, or partly made up, and passing them off as the real thing.
		Glass titled, say, "My Decision to Withdraw From the World and Do Good Works in Deserved Obscurity." But this is something quite different: It is a new piece of journalism that aims to exploit notoriety itself.
		Glass to fabricate nonexistent notes and, eventually, to break down and confess to his editor having invented one of the many articles under his byline that would prove to be false.

	AlterNet: MediaCulture: Stephen Glass, Earnest Reporter
		But mostly, he is sanitized for the sake of the story into just a pathetic kid dangerously out of his league, wanting to be loved and accepted, eating up the smiles and attention that he gets as he pitches his fantastical tales to his colleagues.
		At the center of this world is Stephen Glass, who has the deep affections of everyone except Lane (played by Peter Sarsgaard), who seems to eye Glass warily even before his unmasking.
		Unlike the facile version in the film, Stephen Glass himself seems clearly to imply that he was brought down not because he was a striving journalist who violated the basic tenets of a noble profession, but, rather, because he always thought they were a joke.

		Director Billy Ray hadn't even finished shooting his movie about fabricating journalist Stephen Glass when he read that he was glamorizing a media villain.
		Now that shooting has wrapped on "Shattered Glass" (with a day in Washington last week after most of the filming in Montreal), it's worth pondering how Hollywood handles the issue of journalistic ethics in what purports to be a nonfiction work.
		Another dilemma: Glass, who graduated from Georgetown Law School two years ago, refused to cooperate, so a scene in which he calls his parents is, shall we say, inferred.

	Salon Media Circus \| Return of the journalist supervillains!
		Kolata was good for a week, but the supervillain who kept on giving was Stephen Glass, the talented 25-year-old New Republic writer fired this month for fabrications in numerous stories.
		Glass' stories appealed to his readers' suspicions and biases, sometimes liberalism (see Ana Marie Cox's incisive reading in Feed), sometimes the jaded agnosticism of Beltway and media insiders (his métier was lampooning true believers, from the Concord Coalition to now-implausible religious groups like a church dedicated to George Bush).
		I detest a high-paid 25-year-old fraud as much as the next guy: Glass deserved to be fired and to do time in the wilderness besides, and I hope he doesn't parlay his ignominy into a rich book deal.
