The magazine said Relotius resigned Monday after admitting some of his articles included made-up material from interviews that never happened.The Hamburg-based magazine said Relotius contributed almost to 60 articles published in print or online since 2011, first as a freelance writer before being hired full-time last year. The reporter previously worked for other German and Swiss publications and won numerous awards, including CNN Journalist of the Year in 2014.Spiegel said Relotius acknowledged fabricating parts of at least 14 stories, including a piece about an American woman who he said volunteered to witness the executions of death row inmates, such as one in Texas at the beginning of the year.Relotius didn't immediately respond to an emailed request for comment.The case, which is still being investigated, "marks a low point in the 70-year history of Der Spiegel," the magazine said.[HR][/HR]Recall the Morrissey interview in Der Spiegel in Nov. 2017 in which Morrissey denied saying some of the things printed, later refuted when the journalist Juliane Liebert released the audio file of the interview.  It's unclear how the journalist Claas Relotius relates to Morrissey other than the Der Speigel link.[HR][/HR]Related items:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><a href="https://www.morrissey-solo.com/threads/morrissey-interview-polaroid-photo-in-german-spiegel-magazine.141269/">Morrissey interview + Polaroid photo in German Spiegel magazine</a> - Nov. 17, 2017</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><a href="https://www.morrissey-solo.com/threads/die-spiegel.143346/">Die Spiegel</a> - forum thread posted Dec. 19, 2018</li> </ul></blockquote>
