CNN’s 2014 Journalist Of The Year Resigns After Admitting To Falsifying Stories

A reporter at the German news magazine Der Spiegel — who won CNN’s Journalist of the Year Award in 2014 — resigned on Wednesday after admitted to making up stories.

Claas Relotius “falsified articles on a grand scale and even invented characters,” Der Spiegel admitted in a statement.

It went on, “He included individuals in his stories who he had never met or spoken to, telling their stories or quoting them. Instead, he would reveal, he based the depictions on other media or video recordings.” (RELATED: The List Of CNN’s Bungled Reporting Is A Sight To Behold)

They also acknowledged that the fraud was discovered when Relotius worked alongside another reporter, Juan Moreno, in November. Moreno was suspicious following a story they co-bylined about a vigilante group that patrols the Mexican-U.S. border. Moreno proceeded to report his concerns to Der Spiegel and went to report on another story with Relotius to see if he could find out more information.

This isn’t a CNN story. The guy works for Der Spiegel.

. His work had received awards from CNN, but a CNN spokesperson said, "Relotius was not associated with CNN, he never worked for the company and never had anything published on CNN platforms."

Sorry to disappoint you.

Wonder why your ‘source’ didn’t bother to mention that fact?

Because people who aren't so stupid as to comment WITHOUT READING THE LINK read that:


He also penned a feature for Swiss magazine Reportagen, for which he received two CNN Journalist Awards in 2014, including Journalist of the Year. The CNN Journalist Awards were for German-language journalism and decided by an independent jury. The last awards were given in 2015.


Thrilled to publicly pimp slap you...come back after the swelling goes down...

Right.


Yet your celebration is because he was associated with CNN somehow... which he wasn’t.

Not sure if the story he was recognized for was made up, but even if it was...it’s not real surprising that someone could get an award from a story that was totally made up when no one caught the fact he was doing it for seven years.

It takes very little brain to process this fact for most.
