Errors cause paper to reprint pages

hamilton_spectatorIn an unusual and laudable decision, the Hamilton Spectator (Ontario) chose to reprint a two-page spread after the first version contained errors. Here’s the correction/letter from the paper’s sports editor:

Dear Readers:
Today’s featured centrespread (pages 8-9) is a reproduction of our centrespread from last Tuesday. It features photos of Hamilton and Halton high school athletes of the year for 2007-08.
The original pages contained errors that meant some athletes were misidentified.
We deeply regret the errors.
We are running a corrected version of that spread today to ensure each of those athletes is appropriately recognized in our pages as we originally intended.
Rick Hughes
Sports Editor
