I will be editing the Friday edition of the Life section of the USA Today. Also, I will be looking up the Policy Statement for Corrections for the USA TODAY.
I will be editing the Sports section in the Thursday edition of the Herald-Dispatch. Also, I will be looking at the correction policy for the Washington Post.
The corrections policy for The State Journal essentially states they are committed to correcting any errors they have made and then refers the reader to the name, number and email of the publication's managing editor, Ann Ali. Most other correction policies seem to be more involved, stating the specifics of how the policy is handled, including where the corrections may be found and even how expedient they are in posting said correction. Obviously, a corrections policy says that the publication has integrity and cares about publishing news that is accurate and factual. A publication that has no corrections policy speaks loudly - it says that the editorial staff couldn't care less about accuracy or truth. That's why you will never see a corrections policy for a tabloid.
I analyzed The New York Time's corrections policy.
It states: "The Times welcomes comments and suggestions, or complaints about errors that warrant correction. Messages on news coverage can be e-mailed to nytnews@nytimes.com or left toll-free at 1-888-NYT-NEWS (1-888-698-6397). Comments on editorials may be e-mailed to letters@nytimes.com or faxed to (212) 556-3622. Readers dissatisfied with a response or concerned about the paper’s journalistic integrity may reach the public editor at public@nytimes.com or (212) 556-7652. For newspaper delivery questions: 1-800-NYTIMES (1-800-698-4637) or e-mail customercare@nytimes.com."
If someone would like to contact The New York Times about comments and suggestions or complaints about errors, they must email nytnews@nytimes.com or call with their corrections. Editorial comments must be emailed to letters@nytimes.com or faxed. Reads concerned with the "paper's journalistic integrity" or who are "dissatisfied with a response" must email the public editor at public@nytimes.com or call.
The corrections page is located on page A2. Here is the link to the corrections page: http://www.nytimes.com/pages/corrections/index.html?action=click&pgtype=Homepage®ion=SiteIndex&module=SiteIndex&contentCollection=Corrections&WT.nav=footer-nav
There is a Q&A about the corrections policy between the managing editor of The Tribune, Tad Weber and Senior Editor of The Times, Bill Borders. On the same page there is a Corrections Stylebook Entry that lists how and what each correction should cover. Here is the link: http://publiceditor.blogs.nytimes.com/2006/05/10/qa-on-the-timess-correction-policy/?_php=true&_type=blogs&module=Search&mabReward=relbias%3Ar%2C{%222%22%3A%22RI%3A18%22}&_r=0
"The Times recognizes an ethical responsibility to correct all its factual errors, large and small (even misspellings of names), promptly and in a prominent reserved space in the paper." -Margaret Sullivan, Public Editor's Journal, The New York Times.
The USA Today corrections policy states "USA Today is committed to accuracy." The policy is listed online and on the printed editions. Contact information for the editor is listed as well. This corrections policy ties in with what they state under their editorial policy online; their main goal is to tell the truth as accurately as possible using specific guidelines. Anything that needs to be corrected or any suggestions they will take to be as accurate as possible.
The Fourth Estate and Third Sector is produced and edited by Burnis Morris for journalists and journalism students who are interested in media issues -- such as media performance, media criticism, philantropy, tax-exempt organizations, ethics, law, and anything else that strikes you as interesting. This site began in 2007 as a blog for journalists who cover philanthropy and the tax-exempt community. It was a project of Marshall University's School of Journalism and Mass Comunications, BBB Wise Giving Alliance and the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation.
Our purpose is to help improve news coverage. It is an information site for news gatherers. We want this site to become one of the first stops journalists make when they want to discuss important issues of the day. We will post items of interest to news people and invite news men and women to post their own comments. We encourage you to share stories you've read or written and to ask questions of each other.
Burnis R. Morris is the Carter G. Woodson Professor of Journalism and Mass Communications at Marshall University.
