The Guardian corrects claim that new research was the first global study of nature connectedness
The Guardian has clarified that a study on global “nature connectedness” was one of the first of its kind, not the first.
Previously, it had described the research as the world’s first such study.
That distinction matters, and misreporting it risks overstating the study’s originality and distorting its place within ongoing scientific research.
The Times corrects headline claiming under-nines saw Nazi propaganda on Roblox
The Times has clarified that it had no proof children under nine saw Nazi propaganda on Roblox.
Previously, its headline stated that “under-nines” had seen such material.
That distinction matters, and misreporting it risks overstating verified harm and fuelling misplaced panic over children’s exposure to online extremism.
Financial Times corrects claim that Dior’s market valuation nearly doubled that of Mercedes-Benz
The Financial Times has clarified that Dior does not have its own market valuation, as it is part of LVMH and not separately listed.
Previously, it suggested the fashion house was worth nearly twice as much as Mercedes-Benz.
That distinction matters, and misframing it risks misleading readers about the structure of luxury conglomerates and overstating Dior’s financial autonomy within the LVMH portfolio.
Barron’s backtracks on Getty Trust funding figure in Katherine Fleming profile
Barron’s has clarified that the Getty Trust’s capital improvement program is valued between $600 million and $800 million, not $600,000 to $800,000.
Previously, it had reported the lower figure, implying a modest refurbishment rather than a major institutional redevelopment.
That distinction matters, and misframing it risks stirring needless alarm by undermining confidence in financial reporting and diminishing the perceived scale of one of the world’s most influential cultural institutions.
Telegraph corrects dating error on National Gallery benches in arts coverage
The Telegraph has corrected its report to state that the National Gallery’s leather benches date from the late twentieth century.
Earlier coverage described them as Victorian, suggesting the removal of historic furniture.
Accurate dating matters because errors of chronology can inflate ordinary updates into stories of cultural loss and misplaced outrage.
The New York Times Corrects Record On Park Closures, Amid Shutdown
The New York Times has corrected its reporting to clarify that not all U.S. national parks were closed during the government shutdown, with many trails and outdoor areas remaining accessible.
Previously, it had stated that visitors were being “turned away nationwide,” implying a complete closure of the park system.
That distinction matters, and misframing it risks stirring needless alarm by exaggerating the scale of disruption and obscuring the policy fragility behind repeated shutdowns.
NPR backtracks on timeline and spelling errors in Kimmel and Colbert suspension coverage
NPR has clarified that Jimmy Kimmel was suspended on September 17 for comments made on September 15, and that John Oliver’s name was misspelled.
Previously, it stated Kimmel was suspended on September 7 for remarks the night before, while also misnaming Oliver.
That distinction matters, and misframing it risks stirring needless alarm by misrepresenting the timeline of a high-profile suspension and further confusing a charged debate over free speech and media censorship.
NPR corrects signatory error in Hollywood boycott story
NPR has amended its Sept. 25 report on Hollywood’s dueling open letters over an Israel film boycott, clarifying that Selena Gomez and Pedro Pascal did not sign the pledge to shun Israeli film institutions. Getting the names right matters — especially when lists of “who’s in, who’s out” become the story. But the larger takeaway isn’t celebrity bookkeeping. It’s that cultural boycotts aimed at Israel are the wrong tool for the moment.
The Guardian amends report on FCC chair’s remarks amid Trump–Kimmel row
The Guardian has amended coverage of the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show, after wrongly stating that US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) chair Brendan Carr had raised censorship concerns during an appearance on The Bulwark podcast.
In fact, Carr’s comments were made in an interview with conservative commentator Scott Jennings.
The New York Times corrects Fondation Cartier profile after misstating size and leadership roles
The New York Times has issued a correction to its profile of Chris Dercon, managing director of the Fondation Cartier, after misstating two basic but significant details: the size of the institution’s new Paris home and the position of its president.
The article, published on September 15, initially described the new building opposite the Louvre as 86,000 square feet. In fact, it is 91,500. It also incorrectly identified Alain Dominique Perrin as the Fondation Cartier’s director rather than its president.
The Guardian amends Venice coverage after wrongly crediting Francesco Rosi with a film he did not direct
The Guardian has corrected two errors in its reporting on this year’s Venice Film Festival, acknowledging that Gianfranco Rosi — not the late Francesco Rosi — directed Below the Clouds, and that jury member Fernanda Torres’s first name was initially misspelled.
While the error may seem inconsequential — a slip between two directors sharing a surname — its resonance is wider.
