Corrections, Retractions, and Accountability

4 Abschnitte1 Karteikarten-Decks1 Quizze

This topic examines how professional journalism treats factual error as an ethical rather than merely reputational problem, tracing the norms and practices that govern corrections, clarifications, and retractions. It surveys the structural mechanisms news organizations use to institutionalize accountability -- from correction columns to ombudsman offices -- and critically evaluates the limits of self-correction as a means of repairing public trust.
