Jayson Blair Is Back, Blames Himself for the Current Media Crisis

"I delivered an unfortunate blow to a profession that not only did I personally love doing, but that I value for society," said Blair in an interview on Fox News Sunday. But don't worry! He also has a master plan.

Blair is now a life coach, specializing in substance abuse, and wants to teach young journalists how not to lie - he addressed 150 at Washington and Lee University's Journalism Ethics Institute on Friday too.

Maybe one day he won't have the word 'disgraced' put in front of his name as a reflex. But I doubt it.
