In 2001 , the writer Michael Finkel was discovered to have created composite characters for a story he had written on the African slave trade , a small scandal that was quickly eclipsed at '' The New York Times '' by the much larger one involving Jayson Blair . After the September 11 attacks , Moss and the '' Times Magazine '' created an issue of the magazine called " Remains of the Day " that was published online in its entirety that Friday , the first time the magazine published in digital form before print . Its 2001 story “ One Awful Night in Thanh Phong ” revealed former senator and one-time presidential candidate Bob Kerrey to have led a particularly brutal attack on a peasant village in Vietnam that one of his fellow team members described in terms that invoked some similarities to the My-Lai massacre . Mr. Kerrey disputed the characterization . The story was nominated that year for a Pulitzer Prize
