Julie Amparano

Julie Amparano who worked for the Arizona Republic was fired in 1999 for inventing people to quote in her columns. She claimed to fact checkers that her sources were real yet when they checked her sources they could not be found. Her most memorable person created was "Jennifer Morgan" who was described differently for practically every piece. Later she went on to co-authorized a children's book and she also taught English at Arizona State University West.
