Editor's Note: Two years after this article was published, Diana Griego Erwin resigned from The Sacramento Bee "after she failed to substantiate details from several recent columns," the paper reported. The report said Griego Erwin denied fabricating anything in her columns, but the newspaper conducted an investigation in May and June that it said "found 43 cases in which individuals named by the writer could not be authenticated as real people." Griego Erwin won the ASNE award for commentary written in 1989 while she was at the Orange County Register. The Register did not investigate her work, however Poynter cannot verify its accuracy and so we have removed it.
