What is Eve Fairbanks?
1.
Eve Fairbanks is a reporter-researcher at The New Republic and an opinion writer at The Examiner. Yale '05
Her writing style is known as Fairbanksing: A gratuitous fabrication in a story when the truth would have served just fine.
The New Republic was once the home of Stephen Glass, who used a much different fabrication method and style.
Eve Fairbanks began drawing attention across the internet after her "Mr. Right" article was published in The New Republic. One of the subjects, 'Shooter', objected to a fabricated quote and other details that added nothing to the story. 'Shooter' was never informed that he was on an interview, he thought it was a date and objected to being used in the article.
