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.

    In journalism, imaginative people are most afraid of lying. Liars swallow 100 needles. Any elaborate lies will eventually be discovered.

Shattered Glass quotes

  • Chuck Lane: We need to take a drive to Bethesda.

    Stephen Glass: What for?

    Chuck Lane: I want to meet Joe Hiert.

    Stephen Glass: I already told you, nobody knows where he is.

    Chuck Lane: Well, maybe if we go to the hotel where he met with Restil and Sims, someone will remember him and have some clue how to find him.

    Stephen Glass: [speaking at the same time] Chuck, there were hundreds of people there, okay?

    Chuck Lane: These Forbes guys want to come down on you.

    Stephen Glass: [speaking at the same time] This is ridiculous.

    Chuck Lane: They are highly suspicious about some of the material in that article. You know that.

    Stephen Glass: Yeah.

    Chuck Lane: But they're going to go online with their piece tomorrow.

    Stephen Glass: Oh.

    Chuck Lane: OK?

    Stephen Glass: Yeah.

    Chuck Lane: Now, Steve... Steve.

    Stephen Glass: Yeah?

    Chuck Lane: If we can find Hiert, I can back them off for a day or two. OK?

    Stephen Glass: Ok, I'll get my notes.

    Chuck Lane: OK.

    Stephen Glass: [after grabbing the notes] Let's go.

    Chuck Lane: All right.

  • Stephen Glass: [In his car] There's been so much pressure. I, I... Chuck, I didn't mean to get anybody in trouble.

    Chuck Lane: OK. OK. You weren't at the conference.

    Stephen Glass: [finally admitting he fabricated his story "Hack Heaven"] No. You know, I had a description of it from so many sources, I thought I had it solid. OK? And I wanted the piece to have an eyewitness feel to it. For color. So I said I had been there myself.

    Chuck Lane: [referring to the conference call they had earlier that day] And everything we just told the Forbes guys?

    Stephen Glass: I, I... I'm so sorry, Chuck. I just panicked. If you want me to say that I made it up, I will. If that'll help you, I'll say it.

    Chuck Lane: I just want you to tell me the truth, Steve. Can you do that?
