Amazingly, the original article has been corrected online (though no mention that a correction has been made). The Star (and other media) have had a spotty record on that kind of thing.
The Star currently corrects the online version but does not insert a correction in the body of the article. When I was at their offices last week to give a presentation to staff, I was told that they will soon add the correction to the online article. That’s good news, and it’s what papers such as the NY Times and Washington Post do.
These corrections are so dissatisfying. Is The Star saying it’s sorry for doing something wrong or sorry Richard Dawson isn’t dead?
Ray, it seems clear to me that they’re regretting the error, unless they’re actually referring to Richard Dawson’s life itself as an error. I don’t think that’s reasonable.
