The Guardian<\/i>, a major newspaper in England, has a daily column of \u201cCorrections and Clarifications.\u201d Edited by Ian Mayes, the column breaks the stodgy English tradition of rarely admitting error.<\/p>\n
Sometimes done with humor at the paper\u2019s own expense, the column averages about five corrections a day, ranging from typos and simple misspellings to substituting \u201cex-patriots\u201d for \u201cexpatriates,\u201d and \u201chaving insight\u201d for \u201chaving incited.\u201d Thinking that more people read the corrections than the original story, Maye began working the columns into a book of his favorite mishaps, Only Correct: The Best of Corrections and Clarifications<\/i>.<\/p>\n
If a newspaper has learned that confession expands readership rather than turns people away, perhaps individuals will catch on too. Neither newspapers nor human beings can avoid making mistakes. It is candor in admitting them and taking responsibility for them that is unique.<\/p>\n
