Claas Relotius, who wrote for the Germanmagazine Der Spiegel, was an impressive investigative reporter who had earned himself a spot on Forbes's "30 Under 30" list for European media andwon CNN's "Journalist of the Year" award in 2014. He had composed over 60 articles for Der Spiegel and was largely lauded for his work. However, after an internal investigation, the magazine was shocked to discover the star reporter had fabricated at least 14 of his reports.
The scandal “marks a low point in the 70-year history of Der Spiegel,” according to the publication.
The piece that proved to be his "undoing" and exposed seven years of "large scale journalistic fraud" was his report on "Jaeger's Border," which focused on a group in Arizona conducting patrols along the border to Mexico. In his reporting Relotius had failed to reach out to some of the most prominent people in the story. No matter. He made up his own characters and quotes.
