Jayson Blair, the former New York Times reporter who resigned amid accusations of plagiarism and fraud, has been commissioned to write an article for Esquire, the magazine said Friday.

BLAIR, WHO THE newspaper said embellished parts of dozens of reports, will review the movie version of the Stephen Glass story, “Shattered Glass,” said David Granger, editor in chief of the men’s magazine.

“We thought it was a clever way to do a movie review, to have the most infamous fabricator review another infamous fabricator,” said Granger.

“It’ll be a short review, about 1,000 words,” he said.

...

Granger declined to disclose how much Esquire would pay Blair for the movie review. The Post reported that Blair was expected to receive about $5,000 total for his articles for the two magazines.

I wonder if he even bothered to watch the movie.
