Interesting. It appears [link|http://www.disobey.com/ghostsites/jaysonblair.shtml|Erin Joyce has shared panels with Jayson Blair] (discredited NYTimes reporter). Twice. "The Silicon Alley Beat: Coverage of NY High Tech" and "Silicon Alley Pundits on Parade: Predictions for 2001 "

When Blair became a "Pundit on Parade", he crossed the line between reporter and reportee. He became part of the story he was covering. No, he wasn't alone in this - the "technology press" has never been known for its adversary practices, because it depends on access to power, or its source of editorial fodder quickly dries up. But it is significant that Blair was so deeply enmeshed in the world he claimed to cover. And it is also significant that this world - the one that Blair came from immediately before he was promoted to covering national stories for the Times was - like an unfortunate chunk of Blair's subsequent reporting - based on total, wishful fantasy. One in which it might be said that "a culture of lies" prevailed.
