Are You Mad at Me? A Shattered Glass Podcast
Two longtime political journalists, Erica C. Barnett and Josh Feit, do a monthly deep dive on the 2003 movie Shattered Glass, about the first major journalism scandal of the digital age. Stephen Glass, who worked at The New Republic between 1995 and 1998, fully or partially fabricated dozens of stories for TNR and other publications. He was fired after a reporter for an upstart online publication, Forbes Digital Tool, exposed him. The movie is a low-budget classic, featuring outstanding performances from Peter Sarsgaard, Chloe Sevigny, Melanie Lynskey, Hayden Christensen, and Steve Zahn.
