Correction
A correction in a newspaper is usually the posting of the notice of a typographical error or mistake that appeared in a past issue of a newspaper. Usually, a correction notice appears in its own column. Newspapers usually have specific policies for readers to report factual errors. Usually, it involves the reader contacting an editor, pointing out the mistake and providing the correct information. Sometimes, an editor or affected reporter will be asked to refer to a note or press release to determine how the mistake was made. A correction differs from a clarification, which clears up a statement that — while factually correct — may result in a misunderstanding or an unfair assumption. Most corrections are the result of reporting errors or typographical mistakes, although sometimes the newspaper was provided incorrect information.
