Director: Samantha Grant

A FRAGILE TRUST tells the shocking story of Jayson Blair, the most infamous serial plagiarist of our time, and how he unleashed the massive scandal that rocked the New York Times and the entire world of journalism. Tracing the rise and fall of this fascinating young reporter as he clings to his career at the Times even as he is losing his mind, we see how this cautionary tale about the slippery slope of ethical transgressions is more relevant than ever.

Reporting on The Times explores how The New York Times handled reports of theHolocaust during World War II. It also investigates why The Times, a Jewish owned newspaper, buried more than one thousand articles in its back pages. Did the publishers and editors fear an American anti-Semitic backlash?
