After receiving, "two awards at the Connecticut Society of Professional Journalists Award Ceremon," last month, Paresh Jha was fired from the New Canaan News, a weekly newpaper, for fabricating quotes and sources in his articles.
After fact checking one of Jha's articles and finding the fabrication, the New Canaan News will go through his prior work to collect what else has been made up. The newspaper appologizes to it's readers for the acts of Jha and notes that this is a, "gross violation of their standards."
