Regret the Error

Hey, mistakes happen. Just ask Craig Silverman. Craig has a web site that posts errors and omissions from various news outlets. He recently wrote a book about this subject called Regret the Error.

His web site also lists some great resources and research materials regarding his work in this area.

We regret the error. It’s a phrase that appears in newspapers almost daily; the standard notice that something went wrong in the reporting, editing or printing of an article.

The bottom-line is, everyone’s human and facts have to be checked. Just because something is in print, doesn’t mean it’s true.
