Unbelievable: Stephen Glass Wants a Second Chance

About this book

In 1998, while working for Forbes Digital, Adam Penenberg exposed the lies of New Republic wunderkind Stephen Glass. The expose was a watershed moment for online journalism and later became the basis of a movie starring Hayden Christensen. Now for the first time, Penenberg tells the story behind the including for the first time revealing what happened after his famous story went live. And, as Stephen Glass attempts to prove that he's rehabilitated enough to practice law (really), Penenberg considers whether modern journalism's most famous "fabulist" really does deserve a second chance.
