Podcast appearances and mentions of janet cooke

Tähtitoimittajia suositaan ja erivapaudet voivat käääntyä oikeudeksi käyttää värikynää, edistää agendaa tai jopa suoraan valehdella. Klassiset toimittajat Ivan Puopolo ja Matti Virtanen eivät valehtele. He pohtivat onko Matti Kuuselan Aamulehden väärennettyjen juttujen paljastuminen osa jatkumoa vai erillistapaus. Kuuselan entinen esimies YLE:n Jouko Jokinen puolusti taannoisen alaisensa fabulointia siihen pisteeseen, että ärähti HS:lle ja Iltalehdelle luottamuspulasta, vaikka sai itse lausunnoistaan nuhteet. Ilmiö on Matin ja Ivanin mielestä oikea mutta vähäinen. Isompia ongelmia syntyy kun kyseenalaisia auktoriteettejä lainataan tai oikeaa journalistista integriteettiä osoittavat toimittajat hylätään. Jopa poliisi voi valehdella taktisesti. Jaksossa käydään läpi journalismin väärentämisen suuret tapaukset kuten Janet Cooke, Jayson Blair, Stephen Glass ja Claas Relotius, jotka edustivat maailman arvostetuimpia medioita Der Spiegelistä The New York Timesiin. Edustaako videoitu journalismi tai Ivan Puopolon ja Sami Miettisen tubetoiminta autenttisempaa mediaa? Voiko siinä fabuloida jos valheet näkyvät naamasta? Toimittajat kärähtivät valehtelusta Ivan Puopolo Matti Virtanen #neuvottelija 244. #neuvottelija Sisäpiiri-jaksossa Matti ja Ivan pohtivat Samin kysymystä voiko jokainen meistä olla oma mediansa ja kannattaako se?

Before Stephen Glass and Jayson Blair, there was Janet Cooke. A reporter at The Washington Post, her byline appeared on a story headlined "Jimmy's World" about an 8-year-old heroin addict... who didn't exist. But before anyone found that out, "Jimmy's World" became a national sensation and made Cooke the first Black female Pulitzer Prize winner—an award she returned almost immediately upon winning. But there's a lot more to Janet Cooke's story than just blind ambition. Mark unpacks the OG newspaper scandal for Kasey, along with a quick rave about Margaret Sullivan's incredible memoir Newsroom Confidential, coming out October 18.

On January 10th, 2002, back home in Williamson County on winter break from college in San Diego, 19-year-old Rachel Cooke slept in a little. When she woke up, her parents and sister had all gone about their day. Rachel spoke with her boyfriend back in California for a few minutes, put on her workout clothes, and went for her usual 4 to 6 mile run. Then, as Rachel walked toward the Cooke home, her cooling off period after the run, she seemingly vanished into thin air. The Williamson County Sheriff's Office told Robert and Janet Cooke that they were overreacting – that Rachel just ran off to party and would be back in no time. When it was finally clear to them that was not the case, plenty of time had already been lost, and there wasn't a trace of Rachel Cooke to be found. If you have any information about the disappearance of Rachel Louise Cooke, please contact the Williamson County Sheriff's Office at (512) 948-2911 or their cold case tip line at (512) 943-5204.Please consider donating to the Fort Worth Cold Case Support Group at fwpdcoldcasesupport.orgYou can donate to law enforcement investigations that need funding or upload your DNA into a database used only for law enforcement investigations at DNAsolves.comIf you don't have DNA data from a consumer testing site, you can get a kit at connect.DNAsolves.comYou can support gone cold and listen ad-free at patreon.com/gonecoldpodcastFind us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram by using @gonecoldpodcast......and on YouTube at: youtube.com/c/gonecoldpodcast#WhereIsRachelCooke #JusticeForRachelCooke #Georgetown #GeorgetownTX #WilliamsonCountyTX #Texas #TX #GoneCold #GoneColdPodcast #TexasTrueCrime #TrueCrime #TrueCrimePodcast #Podcast #ColdCase #UnsolvedMysteries #MissingPerson #Missing #Vanished #Disappeared

This week, Cate and Liz kick-off a new series on Famous Fake News where they cover infamous cases of members of the media who have fabricated stories. They begin with former Washington Post journalist Janet Cooke who won a Pulitzer Prize in 1981 for an article written about an eight-year-old heroin addict. The story was later discovered to have been fabricated and Cooke returned the Pulitzer, the only person to date to do so.

Doug and Alek are joined by no one (a tough booking, we assure you) to discuss the findings of science journalist Alan C. Logan who recently published a book about infamous con artist Frank Abagnale, Jr. of "Catch Me If You Can"  fame, claiming Abagnale, Jr. used Tom Hanks and Leonardo DiCaprio to sell us an even bigger bill of goods than previously thought.In his 1980 memoir that inspired the 2002 Steven Spielberg film Abagnale, Jr. claims to have cashed $2.5 million in bad checks over several years while impersonating a pilot for Pan American airlines, a doctor in Georgia, a lawyer for the attorney general’s office in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and a professor at Brigham Young University all while running from the FBI. Logan says Abagnale, Jr.'s tale is greatly exaggerated (surprise!) and almost completely made up. Doug and Alek also discuss other famous examples of tall tales presented as fact committed by the likes of reporter Stephen Glass, former New York Times journalist Jayson Blair, former Washington Post reporter Janet Cooke — who after winning the 1981 Pulitzer Prize for "a bogus story in The Post about an 8-year-old heroin addict named 'Jimmy'" admitted she made the entire thing up — and "A Million Little Pieces" author James Frey who "demonstrably fabricated" key parts of his bestselling, supposedly nonfiction memoir. Keep Your Voice Down’s theme is “Howling at the Moon” by D Fine Us, and this week’s outro music is "Try so Hard" by Aves.

In the September 28th, 1980 issue of the Washington Post, readers were greeted by the horrifying artwork of a story titled "Jimmy's World." The story had the subtitle "8-Year-Old Heroin Addict Lives for a Fix." Needless to say, this story made same waves throughout the nation. Over the next six months, the author of the piece - a 26-year-old reporter named Janet Cooke - found herself at the center of one of the largest journalism scandals of all-time...
