'''Jayson Blair''' was a reporter for the ''[[New York Times]]'' who was forced to resign in 2003. One of his articles was found to be extremely similar to an article about the family of an American soldier in [[Iraq]] that had been recently written by Macarena Hernandez, a writer for the ''San Antonio Express-News''. A review of Blair's work history was undergone, and other instances of plagiarism were found, as well of examples where Blair had completely fabricated information. ''Times'' publisher Arthur Sulzberger Jr. called the Blair scandal "a low point" in the history of the publication. <ref>http://www.pbs.org/newshour/media/media_ethics/casestudy_blair.php</ref>

Blair had been promoted despite the fact that problems with his work had been previously detected, such as quoting individuals who later claimed they had never spoken with Blair. <ref>http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn/A27658-2003May7?language=printer<ref> His correction rate during the time period of 1998 to 2000 was above 5% - high enough to warrant scrutiny.
