I think they print them under the gay "wedding" announcements.

Its worse than that...

The Times reports it, AP picks it up and runs it. Thousands of newspapers and local news reports cover it...THEN the Times prints a retraction on page C14 and the thousands of media outlets feel no responsibility to retract since it was not their mistake.

We just had a letter to the editor in our local paper claiming that "Bush ordered the disclosure of Valerie Plame's identity".. where did he get that and where is the retraction?

Corrections are always on even page numbers. That way you actually have to fold the paper back to find it. So I suspect either A38 or A40.

I do not know where the NYT reports corrections but I do know where the effect of cumulative errors and bias are accounted.

NEW YORK, April 13 (Reuters) - New York Times Co. (NYT.N: Quote, Profile, Research) on Thursday said first-quarter profit fell 69 percent from a year earlier when it took a large gain, as higher newsprint costs and weak results from the Boston Globe outweighed strong Internet revenue.

All corrections should be printed on Page 2. Force papers to think before they write something.

No. It was on the front page, but you needed to wear a pair of special glasses invented by Bejamin Franklin to see it.

In fairness to the Grey Lady, I believe they still print corrections on page A2, second page of the first section. The corrections page is more for correcting the record than changing impressions. The readers read the initial story and form lasting impressions. The secondary media, TV and wire services, run with the original story and the corrections never make it into the public debate.
