The importance of news truth in the information age

In the whole story, Stephen finally admitted that all the articles in the "New Republic" magazine were fictitious, and even if there were no suspicions that hackers suffered from this article, this kind of fictitious story news would even be written by Stephen.
In a large film content, I think Stephen’s point of view is always a news article. The most important thing is the reader’s interest. Readers find it interesting to read. This article is a success. If you change it to a story, then I have no doubt, but this is news.
The authenticity of news must be the first prerequisite of news, and what the reporter describes and feels must be the existence of real scenes. The attractiveness of a magazine does not depend first on the attractiveness of the article, but the degree of social attention of the selected news content.
A reporter is not a writer. A reporter must not only care about people, but also care about society. Journalists are also a bridge between the public and the upper-level institutions, so not only journalists and society should have an interactive relationship.
The content of the film has sounded a wake-up call for the current media industry and media practitioners. The development of fake news in the information age is even more untenable, and the media needs to report on a comprehensive, true and profound society; similarly, the media’s role of public opinion supervision is in the modern age. The increasing need in society is not only the awakening of civic awareness, but also the awakening of more citizens to enjoy their rights and truly speak for the society.

Shattered Glass quotes

  • Chuck Lane: [in Stephen's office after business hours] You had your brother pose as George Sims.

    Stephen Glass: What?

    Chuck Lane: The phony recording from Jukt Micronics? It's a Palo Alto number. And your brother is a student at Stanford. You had him pose as Sims.

    Stephen Glass: No, Sims is a real guy...

    Chuck Lane: Steve, Steve...

    Stephen Glass: I've talked to him a million times, Chuck. My brother and I aren't even speaking right now.

    Chuck Lane: Stop it. You faked Sims, you faked a website, you faked all those voicemails...

    Stephen Glass: [speaking at the same time] You don't know. You don't know, Chuck.

    Chuck Lane: Restil, Hiert, Ghort...

    Stephen Glass: [speaking at the same time] You got this totally backward.

    Chuck Lane: It's all crap. I can trace it if you make me. I'll find it all billed to you.

  • Gloria: [referring to the discovery that Stephen fabricated his stories] You know what could've prevented all this, don't you?

    Chuck Lane: No, what?

    Gloria: Pictures. How could you make up characters if everyone you wrote about had to be photographed?
