Corrections

Our corrections policy is pretty simple - we will try to correct any article as soon as we can verify that a correction is needed. Corrections frequently come in comments, and also in emails to the writer and the editor. We recommend that, at a minimum, anyone with a correction to make should email the editor - this is the quickest way to get action.

MediaShift, a project of the Knight Foundation, published an article from Scott Rosenberg with some useful suggestions:

There's really just a small number of things any news website needs to do if it wants to handle corrections and error reports responsibly:

  • Append a note to any article that's been corrected, explaining the change;
  • Keep a list of these changes, linking to the corrected articles, at a fixed location on the site;
  • Post a brief corrections policy, with information about how readers can report errors they find;
  • Make sure that your corrections listing page and your corrections policy (whether they're on the same or different pages) are part of your site navigation -- they should be accessible by one click from any page on your site.

Sara Jochems didn't know exactly what she wanted to do after she received her master's in English and Literary Studies from the University of Minnesota Duluth, but she knew she most likely wanted to teach. The problem, she said, was that she didn't know the age group in which she was interested teaching. So Jochems took a friend's advice and joined Minnesota Reading Corps (MRC), a statewide Americorps program dedicated to bolstering reading fluency of students pre-kindergarten to 3rd grade.

The singer/vocal enchantress Madeleine Peyroux performed at The Dakota in Minneapolis on Tuesday, April 2 and will do so again on Wednesday, April 3 with two shows each evening. If you can afford the time and the tickets ($50-$65), invest, invest, invest. What you'll come out with is a glimpse into song history, artistic tribute and interpretation that is stellar to the core. British singer/songwriter/actress Rebecca Pidgeon (with Tim Young) is the opener with a short song set including her Grammy nominated "Slingshot".

The Nicollet coffeehouse, with its quaint and modest allure, strikes a contrast to the bustling neighborhood surrounding it. Since reopening under new management in October, The Nicollet has quietly gone about reintroducing itself to the community. The recent expansion of evening hours--the shop is now open every day until 10 pm-- is a signal that the The Nicollet is finding its footing along the Eat Street corridor of Nicollet Avenue.

Hofstede vs. Frey in Minneapolis Third Ward city council race

By Sheila Regan, TC Daily Planet

The Third Ward is one of the most disparate wards in the city, particularly after the new re-districting, which added the North Loop, Mill City, Downtown East and Downtown West into the mix. Somehow, the councilperson overseeing the ward has to juggle the needs of downtown with parts of North Minneapolis and Dinkytown. As my friend Chris Stellar put it, “It’s such a non-uniform ward, no end of it connects meaningfully with another. It seems like Yugoslavia or something.”

Full debate - thanks to The Uptake! 

UPDATED 3/29/2013: It was a battle of the progressives on Wednesday, March 27 at the Humphrey School as five remarkably similar progressive candidates showed off their feathers in a packed auditorium.  There’s a lot to like about many of the candidates, so we’re breaking it down to find the winners and losers on various issues, such as who hates the stadium the most, who's the BFF of North Minneapolis, and more.

Healthy eating begins with traditional Asian glutinous goodness at Shanghai Oriental Food in Hopkins

By Stephanie Fox, Global Groceries

For years, I’ve been hearing about how an Asian diet is so much better for health and longevity than a traditional Western diet. These diets have, we’re told, cardiovascular, blood sugar, and weight loss benefits, and we’d be better off eating Asian than our typical diet.

In fall 2014 the Minnesota Vikings will move into TCF Bank Stadium just as the Minnesota Gophers did three years ago—but the professional team’s impact on the surrounding neighborhoods could be greater than the stress created by the home college team, and the Vikings have not yet agreed to a plan to compensate for the impact on the surrounding neighborhoods.
