CORRECTION
FOX's Video Rampage, June 16
We incorrectly reported that CBS and WCBS had blurred the faces of women who were videotaped while being attacked in New York's Central Park. According to WCBS news director Joel Cheatwood, WCBS initially showed the victims' faces, but changed its policy a few hours later and edited the images.

CLARIFICATION
Notorious L.A.T, May 24
Our article about the Los Angeles Times identification of a suspect in the killing of Notorious B.I.G. was inconsistent in its reference to the length of time that Times editors knew the original story was incorrect.

The sentence containing the inconsistency read, "That's what happened for two months after Times editors realized that their December, 1999, story...was wrong," It now reads, "That's what happened for more than a month after Times editors realized that their December, 1999, story...was wrong."

CLARIFICATION
In May's "Face-Off" column about the London libel suit brought by Holocaust denier David Irving, contributor Cynthia Ozick wrote, "By the middle of February...Irving...had put up a David Irving website, which includes a lengthy and not particularly friendly article from The Atlantic Monthly as well as the voluminous daily transcripts of the [trial] proceedings." In fact, Irving's website pre-existed the trial, although it did not include information on his libel trial until the proceedings began, in January. On April 11, the judge ruled against Irving, calling him an "active Holocaust denier."
