The magazine “Der Spiegel” acknowledges guilt for his journalist's false news scandal

Among the false writings was a scripture for an American woman traveling by bus across the United States to witness the executions of death. It later proved to be completely false. The magazine “Der Spiegel” yesterday published a text where it admits the guilt of the scandal. On 23 pages of the magazine, the scandal of false news is discussed in detail while praising journalist Juan Moreno's colleague, who discovered the scandal.

Our house is shocked. What happened to us is the worst thing that could happen to a staff editor”, says the main text. The magazine accuses its former reporter of relying on his imagination, not research. Another ten - page text, entitled “Anx3>, describes the scandal in detail. Moreno had acted contrary to the will of the editors and had begun investigating his colleague's work. He had also been in danger of being fired.

German media are still suffering the consequences of this scandal. Before he was employed in the magazine “Der Spiegel”, the former reporter had also worked for the newspaper “Die Welt”, so this newspaper has begun investigating the authenticity of the articles published earlier. There is fear that this scandal will be used from the far right to promote even greater distrust in the media because they have a long history of press attack, writes the “The Guardian”/
