Sunday Times ‘correction’ was a giant climbdown

22 June, 2010 by Einar Thorsen Leave a Comment

Roy Greenslade on The Sunday Times' retraction of article critical of climate research:

I think that sets the gold standard in "corrections". Its publication was brokered by the Press Complaints Commission, and I understand from the PCC that there were good reasons for the four-and-a-half-month gap between the article apparing and the settlement.

But why did it take so long for the paper to admit it had got the whole thing wrong. And why didn't its headline simply say: "Sorry, our reporter screwed up and we got it wrong"? Readers would like that candour and regard it as more credible because it had the guts to own up to its mistake.

The messages behind today’s national paper front pages – guardian.co.uk

6 May, 2010 by Einar Thorsen Leave a Comment

    Roy Greenslade:

    "As for The Guardian, it does something very different indeed by choosing a news headline, "Cameron eyes the prize", which is based on a poll result and which runs counter to its own general political sympathies."

    Great analysis of all (read: most) of today's national paper front pages.
