The Eight-Year-Old Heroin Addict

On September 28, 1980, a story appeared in the Washington Post, describ­ing the tragic ghetto life of Jimmy, an eight-year-old heroin addict. The story written by reporter Janet Cooke, drew immediate attention. Police and social workers searched for the boy; unable to find him, they contacted Cooke, who told them that revealing information would put Jimmy and herself in danger.

It might as well have ended there but for the Post's submitting the story for consideration by the Pulitzer Prize committee.

Not to submit such a prominent story would have indicated the newspaper lacked faith in its veracity.

When the story won, Cooke was asked to supply biographical information to the Committee; the resume she produced was so filled with errors and incon­sistencies that it brought the Jimmy story into doubt.

Questioned by Executive Editor Ben Bradlee, Cooke finally confessed to making up the story. The next day she publicly apologized and resigned; the Post returned the Pulitzer and ran a story describing the hoax.

The twenty-five-year-old black reporter faded from public view.
