Fake News: Germany’s Der Spiegel says star reporter invented interviews ‘on a grand scale’ for years | National Post

'BERLIN — German weekly Der Spiegel says one of its star reporters has left the publication after committing journalistic fraud “on a grand scale” over a number of years. '

'The magazine published a lengthy report Wednesday following an internal investigation into the work of Claas Relotius, a 33-year-old staff writer known for his vivid investigative stories. '

'Spiegel reported that Relotius, who previously worked for other publications and won a CNN Journalist of the Year award in 2014, has resigned after admitting to inventing interviews. '

'Several of Relotius’ articles were about the United States, including alleged abuse in a Florida reform school, an execution in Texas, a border militia in Arizona and a small town in Minnesota. '

'The magazine said the incident marks “a low point in the 70-year history of Der Spiegel.”'
