Chuck’s Tupac story named error of the year
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 17 December 2008
That Tupac story by Pulitzer Prize-winning former LA Times journalist Chuck Philips has been named Error Of The Year by Regret The Error, a website that reports on mistakes in the media.
As previously reported, the respected journalist wrote a sensationalist story that claimed to reveal new evidence regarding the involvement of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs and others in the unsolved murder of Tupac Shakur, claims which were based in part on what were proven to be forged FBI documents.
The LA Times issued a formal apology and retraction in relation to the story in late March and Philips subsequently left the paper.
