THE INSIDER: Setting the record straight
More of the ‘best’ media corrections of 2016 compiled by the Poynter Institute
More of the "best" media corrections of 2016 compiled by the Poynter Institute, a nonprofit journalist support and training organisation that operates internationally: • We reported that Judge Khalid Quereshi, in dismissing an extradition case against CJ de Mooi (News, Oct 24), described the case as "dodgy". In fact the judge was referring to a similar case in the European court, relating to a Niculaie Aurel Bob-Dogi, and actually said, "It’s a Bob-Dogi case." (The Times UK) • Boris Johnson’s award-winning limerick about the Turkish president referred to Erdogan as a wanker who performed a sex act with a goat. A previous version of this article included the prompt for the poetry contest, which included a different sex act, also with a goat. (Buzzfeed)
