What news story won the Pulitzer Prize but was completely made up?
Janet Cooke (born July 23,1954) was an American journalist who became infamous when she won a Pulitzer Prize for a fabricated story that she wrote for The Washington Post.
In 1980, Cooke joined the "Weeklies" section staff of the Washington Post under editor Vivian Aplin-Brownlee. To secure this post, she said she had a degree from Vassar College, studied at the Sorbonne University, and was the recipient of an award at the Toledo Blade newspaper.
In an article entitled Jimmy's World, which appeared in the Post on September 29, 1980, Cooke wrote a gripping profile of the life of an 8-year-old heroin addict. She described the "needle marks freckling the baby-smooth skin of his thin, brown arms." The story engendered much sympathy among readers, including Marion Barry, then mayor of Washington, D.C. He and other city officials organized an all-out police search for the boy, which was unsuccessful and led to claims that the story was fraudulent. Barry claimed that Jimmy was known to the city and receiving treatment.
Despite growing signs of problems, the Post defended the veracity of the story and Assistant Managing Editor Bob Woodward nominated the story for the Pulitzer Prize. Cooke was named winner of the prize on April 13, 1981.
When the editors of the Toledo Blade, where Cooke had previously worked, read her biographical notes, they noticed a number of discrepancies. Further investigation revealed that Cooke's credentials were false. Pressured by the editors of The Washington Post, Cooke confessed her guilt.
Two days after the prize had been awarded, Washington Post publisher Donald Graham held a press conference and admitted that the story was fraudulent. The editorial in the next day's paper offered a public apology. Assistant Managing Editor Bob Woodward said at the time: "I believed it, we published it. Official questions had been raised, but we stood by the story and her. Internal questions had been raised, but none about her other work. The reports were about the story not sounding right, being based on anonymous sources, and primarily about purported lies [about] her personal life -- [told by three reporters], two she had dated and one who felt in close competition with her. I think that the decision to nominate the story for a Pulitzer is of minimal consequence. I also think that it won is of little consequence. It is a brilliant story -- fake and fraud that it is. It would be absurd for me or any other editor to review the authenticity or accuracy of stories that are nominated for prizes."
Cooke resigned and returned the prize. She appeared on the Phil Donahue show in January 1982, and said that the high-pressure environment of the Washington Post had corrupted her judgment. She said that her sources had hinted to her about the existence of a boy such as Jimmy, but unable to find him, she eventually created a story about him in order to satisfy her editors.
Cooke was the subject of an interview by Mike Sager, appearing in GQ in June 1996. Sager's article was republished in an anthology Scary Monsters and Super Freaks. The movie rights to her story were reportedly purchased for $1.6 million by Columbia TriStar Pictures, to be divided between Cooke (55 percent), Sager and their agents. The film has not yet been produced.
How do you report individual tax fraud in sc?
Exposing tax fraud is an easy process (in South Carolina or elsewhere) and the reward can be very lucrative considering that the IRS will pay you anywhere from 15-30% of the amount they ultimately recover. It is best to use an experienced "whistleblower" attorney who will help you negotiate the highest percentage for a straight contingency fee (success fee).
Gold scams - what are they and how to avoid the fraud?
Gold scams and fraud are very common as investors seek opportunities abroad for new gold suppliers, sellers, miners and buyers. Gold prices keep rising, and so does the fraud. Most of the fraud is coming from West Africa from countries like Ghana and Sierra Leone, but there is also a high degree of risk from South Africa and China. China, South Africa and Ghana are the largest gold producers in the world, and no country is booming with gold investment like Ghana, so getting in on the action means dealing with significant risk.
There are endless combinations of gold scams. Gold scams can take the form of advance fee fraud, i.e. paying for gold that never arrives. Gold deals involving the internet are especially prone to scam and fraud. Gold coins and bars can be filled with lead or other metals and coated in gold. Claimed mining companies or gold sellers can also engage in scams or fraud by manipulating contracts and sales agreements, shipping complications, customs fees and claimed taxes. Scammers are increasingly registering fake companies with South Africa, Ghana and China government agencies, so checking to see if a company is registered is no longer a sufficient way to hedge risk. Investing in mining companies on a financial exchange or buying a gold ETF offers the least risk.
If possible, ask for a referral from a trusted source within the industry. If this isn't an option, get a list of licensed and registered companies from government agencies in the country where the gold dealer, buyer or supplier is located. Ask for references and never send money via Western Union. Because of the high risk, contact a company like Wymoo International for a background check or due diligence investigation, to be certain you are not dealing with a scam. For investigation and verification services, always use a private investigation or background check firm with field investigators in the actual country.
