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.

Hesse took a break from contract negotiations for grocery workers to talk to the Twin Cities Daily Planet about the future of unions and jobs in Minnesota.  "We believe that working people should be paid a good and fair wage," he told the Daily Planet.

In 2012, Minnesotans will face an entirely new political map, based on the population shifts and demographic changes revealed by the 2010 Census.

That map will define Minnesota’s communities, determine which groups vote together and which are separated by political boundaries, and influence which politicians can run for office in what districts for a decade to come.

"If I have to go on record and say global warming -- I think it's a farce, I think it's a fallacy," the new chair of the Minnesota Senate Environment Committee Ingebrigtsen told a joint legislative-citizens advisory group on environmental spending in late February. "I just don't buy it. And I think there's a lot of folks that don't." Since then, Sen. Bill Ingebrigtsen (R-Alexandria) has been one of the leaders in crafting serious budget cuts and rollbacks for Minnesota environmental initiatives, together with Rep. Denny McNamara (R-Hastings), the chairman of the House Environment, Energy, and Natural Resources Committee.

On March 1, Minneapolis's Heritage Preservation Commission (HPC) voted unanimously to approve demolition of the Oak Street Cinema, following the staff's recommendation. The applicant seeking to demolish the historic building was Doran Companies, who intend to demolish it in order to build a six-story, mixed-use, student housing development called Oak Street Flats. The HPC had approved demolition previously in 2008, but the building was never demolished. Doran Companies re-applied for demolition with a proposal that would include the demolition of an adjacent building that's currently home to The Golden Bowl, a restaurant.
