Investigation by team of New York Times journalists finds reporter Jayson Blair committed frequent acts of journalistic fraud while covering significant news events in recent months; major findings are these: he filed dispatches that purported to be from Maryland, Texas and other states, when often he was in New York; fabricated comments, concocted scenes and lifted material from other newspapers and wire services; also he selected details from photographs to create impression he had been somewhere or seen someone, when he had not; Times journalists uncover new problems in at least 36 of 73 articles he wrote after he started getting national reporting assignments in Oct 2002; spot checks of more than 600 articles he wrote before Oct 2002 find other apparent fabrications, and that inquiry continues; The Times asks readers to report any additional falsehoods in his work; investigation by Times journalists suggests several reasons why his deceits went undetected for so long: failure of communication among senior editors, few complaints from subjects of his articles and his ingenious ways of covering his tracks; some examples cited; most of all, no one saw his carelessness as sign that he was capable of systematic fraud; article offers detailed look at his career at The Times and at errors that have been uncovered in his articles; he resigned on May 1 when editors confronted him with evidence of his deception; photos (L)

A staff reporter for The New York Times committed frequent acts of journalistic fraud while covering significant news events in recent months, an investigation by Times journalists has found. The widespread fabrication and plagiarism represent a profound betrayal of trust and a low point in the 152-year history of the newspaper. The reporter, Jayson Blair, 27, misled readers and Times colleagues with dispatches that purported to be from Maryland, Texas and other states, when often he was far away, in New York. He fabricated comments. He concocted scenes. He lifted material from other newspapers and wire services. He selected details from photographs to create the impression he had been somewhere or seen someone, when he had not.
