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.

 

 

SATURDAY PICK | May Lee-Yang, Brian Beatty, Andy Sturdevant, and others have "FLO(we){u}R Power" at the Soap Factory

I know it's petty, but as an editor, sometimes the name of an event is so obnoxious that you feel like you can hardly write about it and still take yourself seriously. Such has been the case with the Soap Factory's exhibit named—sigh—FLO(we){u}R, an installation in which artists Amber Ginsberg and Joseph Madrigal recreate a WWI bomb factory to build seed bombs. (Sometimes a concept is just too hippie even for the Daily Planet.) But Allison Morse snared me with the TalkingImageConnection (speaking of awkward names, Pat, can I buy a space?) reading scheduled for May 12 with local luminaries including irreverent Fringe favorites May Lee-Yang and Brian Beatty as well as the happily ubiquitous Andy Sturdevant. Dig out those cut-offs and paisley and groove on down to Marcy-Holmes for this free event.

THURSDAY PICK | It's show time for the Minneapolis-St.Paul International Film Festival

By Morgan Halaska, TC Daily Planet

The Twin Cities has made itself into quite the film hub, with Mizna's Arab Film Festival, the Twin Cities Festival and this, the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Film Festival. And between the Minnesota-Made Showcase (curated by MCAD's Tom DeBiaso) and the Spotlight on the Middle East (curated by Alissa Simon) with films from Turkey, North Africa, and Irsrael, the Minneapolis St. Paul International Film Festival really does its job of living up to its name. There are over 250 flicks in this year's program (documentary, narrative, and shorts from more than 60 countries), so it's hard to pick out just a few highlights. Here's one that caught my eye: Andrew Bird: Fever Year (a documentary of the musician's years of touring). And, of course, The Intouchables, which is the festival opener. The opening night party is Thursday, April 12 at the Aster Cafe, and the party pretty much carries on for three weeks from gala events to receptions.

PHOTOS | Hawaiian and Native American dancers meet in Minneapolis for a cultural exchange

By Ben Zvan, TC Daily Planet

When I was asked to cover a cultural exchange between visiting Hawaiians and local Native Americans, I thought, "this could be interesting." I was expecting a performance, but what I saw was a powerful sharing of spiritual, cultural, and historical experience. The Halau Kiawekupono O Ka Ua, from O'ahu, Hawaii were at Carlton College in Northfield for the week of April 4-8 for classes and a performance. They visited native Minnesotans from "the very very big island of North America" at the Minneapolis American Indian Center on April 5 to share music and dance.
