...why am I not surprised :^)...gl
The Daily Herald Tribune (Grand Prairie, Alberta):
An error occurred in the story “Weather Blamed in Death,” which appeared in Wednesday’s edition.
In the story, it’s stated that the “Oasis shelter is the one in the city that accepts people.”
The sentence should have read “The Oasis shelter is the only one in the city that accepts intoxicated people.” We apologize for the error.
...but this may be the best media correction of the year.
One of the surest ways to produce a great correction is to write a scandalous article filled with salacious, untrue allegations. This year’s winner is a correction to an April article in the Independent Saturday (UK) magazine:
Following the portrait of Tony and Cherie Blair published on 21 April in the Independent Saturday magazine, Ms Blair’s representatives have told us that she was friendly with but never had a relationship with Carole Caplin of the type suggested in the article. They want to make it clear, which we are happy to do, that Ms Blair "has never shared a shower with Ms Caplin, was not introduced to spirit guides or primal wrestling by Ms Caplin (or anyone else), and did not have her diary masterminded by Ms Caplin."
