From the BBC’s Editors blog:
ON page 11 of the May 10 edition of The Courier-Mail a photograph of Todd Reid, a 23-year-old professional tennis player, was inadvertently and incorrectly referred to as a photograph of another professional tennis player, Paul Hanley. The photograph was mistakenly included in an article about Mr Hanley and a charge that Mr Hanley is facing in the UK. Mr Reid, pictured, has no association with that matter. The Courier-Mail regrets the error and apologises to Mr Reid for any distress or embarrassment caused.

THIS photo of State Liberal MP for Epping Greg Smith was taken by NSW’s senior crown prosecutor Mark Tedeschi, QC, and is part of his Legal Chameleons Exhibition at the Justice and Police Museum in Phillip St, Sydney. The photo may already be familiar to some of our readers as it inadvertently appeared in last Wednesday’s Times with the wrong photo byline. We apologise for the error.

A picture with a report in the World Briefing column on Thursday about early elections in Kuwait was published in error.

A series of front-page photographs of local soldiers killed in Iraq, published Friday, mistakenly included a photo of Marine Cpl. Ted “T.J.” Cothran instead of a photo of his brother, Marine Lance Cpl. Derrick J. Cothran. Derrick Cothran was killed by a roadside bomb in Iraq in 2006. T.J. Cothran, while also serving in Iraq, was wounded by a similar device in April 2007 and survived. The newspaper regrets the error and apologizes to the Cothran family. 
A March 15 photo caption incorrectly identified the man in the above photo as Jonathan Black. It is actually a photo of Toronto law student Chris O’Connor. Mr. O’Connor was in no way connected to the incident allegedly involving Black. The Star regrets the error and apologizes to Mr. O’Connor.

James Wakeford was granted statutory permission to use medicinal marijuana by the federal government on June 9, 1999. A photograph of Mr. Wakeford was inappropriately used to illustrate a Jan. 14 column on compassion clubs, which until a Federal Court ruling in January provided marijuana to patients outside the law. Mr. Wakeford remains opposed to compassion clubs and the Post apologizes if any readers were left with the impression that he is a supporter. 
The picture used on page 5 of times2 yesterday was incorrectly captioned as Ronald Harwood with his wife Natasha. It was, in fact, Mr Harwood with the actress Amy Adams. Our apologies.
The Semantics column about chickens in Oviedo on Page J2 of the Feb. 10 Sunday Seminole section contained a misspelling of the name of the TownHouse Restaurant in Oviedo.

Nagin photo clarified: A photo in some Metro sections Wednesday showed a laughing Mayor Ray Nagin pointing an M4 rifle at Chief of Police Warren Riley at a news conference to announce new crime-fighting equipment purchased by the New Orleans Police Department. A review of a video taken at the event shows that the mayor momentarily pointed the gun at the chief as he was lowering it but he did not deliberately point it at Riley. -
