ABSTRACT

Certainly there are times when a media interview can be tense and adversarial, such as when responding to a crisis or allegations of misdeeds. Major media personalities such as celebrities and television news anchors who might be the unwelcome focus of the news will avoid being interviewed by reporters. Corrections appearing in newspapers and magazines mostly focus on spelling errors and misreported titles, dates, affiliations, attributions, and other facts and figures printed in error. Just about every major news publication runs a corrections box, noting reporting errors and making them right. Contact information should be noted on the corrections page, or call the publication and ask the operator for assistance.
