Try, try again

Posted on January 14, 2008, 8:00 am, by Craig Silverman, under Newspapers.

A Jan. 9 story about the death of first nations fisherman Pat Alfred incorrectly indicated that Alert Bay is on northern Vancouver Island. It is on Malcolm Island, off northern Vancouver Island.

Followed by:

A Jan. 10 (sic) Setting it straight about the location of Alert Bay was incorrect. Alert Bay is on Cormorant Island, not Malcolm Island.

Thanks, Greg!

    Craig, why the (sic) in the second correction? I imagine the correction ran the day after the story, meaning that the “Setting it Straight” would have run on Jan. 10. Just wondering.

    The first correction actually ran on Jan. 11.

    Thanks. That helps clear that up.
