Tom Kummer

Tom Kummer (born 14 January 1961) is a Swiss journalist who published numerous celebrity profiles in Germany and Switzerland. Kummer never even met his subjects. His primary publisher, ''Süddeutsche Zeitung'' issued a public apology for running Kummer's stories, calling them "a betrayal of monumental proportions". His work was also published in ''Der Spiegel'', ''Stern'', the ''Tagesanzeiger'', the ''Berner Zeitung'', and the ''Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung''. Because of the timespan in which his bogus reporting appeared in print, he has earned comparisons to Jayson Blair and Stephen Glass. Provided by Wikipedia
