Great newspaper corrections... The traditional newspaper correction notice is (or at least,
used to be) something of an art form – for some reason, most especially in the British press.
The Listener, out of New Zealand, has collected
some of the best. Here's one example, from the London
Sun:
In an article on Saturday headlined ‘Flying saucers over British Scientology HQ’, we stated ‘two flat silver discs’ were seen ‘above the Church of Scientology HQ’. Following a letter from lawyers for the Church, we apologise to any alien lifeforms for linking them to Scientologists.
Hah!
