A Reflection Paper on the Movie Shattered Glass

Andale: Reflection

Resources

This week, you only have one resource to review—a movie that you may need to purchase, or use any external sources that is free online.

You may wonder: “Why am I watching a movie about journalism? This has nothing to do about my kind of communication work.” Yet this movie provides a vivid account of what it’s like to work through a moral problem. Although the central character is about Stephen Glass, your discussion will focus on Chuck Lane. I recommend that you review the discussion questions before viewing the movie.
