Janet Cooke won a Pulitzer Prize for her article "Jimmy's World" for The Washington Post. Soon after, the publisher Donald E. Graham found out that the article was fabricated and The Washington Post had a public apology. Janet confessed that her sources for the article were mostly true, but then she made up the rest.
Jayson Blair was a writer for the New York Times and was caught plagiarizing and fabricating a major article that was written by his partner a few years prier. He was caught and later resigned in 2003.
Julie Amparano was a columnist at the Arizona Republic. She was fired in 1999 because her bosses believed that she invented people that she had gotten all of her quotes from, which she then denied. None of them could find her sources and she complained that they didn't give her enough time to find her sources on her own. Julie seemed to always refer to a woman named "Jennifer Morgan" whom she related multiple of her quotes from. Funny thing about that was that the woman was cited for many different occupations, which made it even more suspicious. She moved on to co-write a children's story and be an English teacher at Arizona State University. -Jaymee Pride and Aleah Adams
