Regret the Error

In our April 9 edition, the Sun-Times published a letter mildly critical of Mayor Daley that was signed “Sabina Lilly, Bridgeport.” In fact, Sabina Lilly did not write the letter — her signature had been forged. Our policy is to check the veracity of letters before publication, but we failed this time. We apologize.

I wrote a column for Columbia Journalism Review about letter to the editor errors.
