Please see my post #177

Everyone must CALL/EMAIL and demand AP take action ASAP to undo the damage this false report has done.

I spoke with a Mel Gray at 212-621-1500
She covers the night news desk.

Please read my email to them and speak up as I did.

Hello All,

I did contact that number and had a nice chat with Ms. Gray. There was not much she could do about the earlier report but she was patient talking with me about how the AP works through its news cycles and changes to stories and that they do attempt to validate what they can. In the end, the on-site reporter has the job of correctly transcribing. All else happens later.

I do want to post a different number as the best contact at the AP: (212) 621-6060. This is their corporate communications department and it's where they handle corrections (via info@ap.org) according to Ms. Grey.

She had her hands full with the hurricane and other current news stories, so I ask for your understanding on her behalf.

Thanks,
