Shattered Glass

1. In the movie "Shattered Glass" there are several distinct steps that are incorporated into the overall data process. First, all the writers sit and discuss a topic that he/she would like to elaborate on. Next, the writer goes out and finds information by interviewing people to get the information. Next the information is fact checked and then published.

2. The character in the movie, Stephen Glass, is known for his quirky pieces that grabs everyone attention. He discusses conventions and hackers and always makes a great publication with his information. He takes notes and listens to what the people around him are saying and doing. He then forms these great pieces of literature with this factual information...or so everyone thought.

3. I think the ethical issue discussed in this paper is the validity of the information being published. Everyone knew he was a great writer and that he had a knack for finding these outlandish stories. Rather he fabricated the information and mislead his readers, coworkers, and himself.
