Village Voice Pulls Story After Discovering Fabricated Character
-- The following editor's note by Tony Ortega now occupies the space where freelance writer Rob Sgobbo's story ran on January 5, 2011:
"Freelance writer Rob Sgobbo's article "For-Profit Blues" was removed from the website after the Voice learned that Sgobbo had invented a character, "Tamicka Bourges," who claimed she had amassed a large debt at Berkeley College without obtaining a degree.
We first learned that there might be a problem when Berkeley College denied that one of its spokespersons, Kelly Meisberger, had spoken to Sgobbo."
