Bad day at The Guardian

Guardian_7Yesterday’s edition of The Guardian featured a trio of embarrassing and notable corrections:

In a column devoted to the
law, page 17, G2, yesterday, we referred to a court decision in the
United States against "the company that has the beer concession at the
Giants’ baseball stadium in New York …" The Giants baseball team
moved to San Francisco more than 40 years ago. The stadium is actually
in New Jersey, not New York. American football and soccer are played
there but not baseball. The company involved in the court case is
Aramark, not Aramak.

In
the lead report in our International section, Survivors and leaders
travel to Auschwitz, page 13, yesterday, an editing slip made Elie
Wiesel, the Nobel laureate, female. It was corrected yesterday on the
Guardian website.

In
the Auschwitz report, page 13, yesterday, we referred to "all three
living former US presidents, Bill Clinton, George Bush senior, and
Jimmy Carter". President Gerald Ford is also living.
