Full description for Regret the Error

• We regret the error - it's a phrase that appears in newspapers almost daily, the standard notice that something went terribly wrong in the reporting, editing, or printing of an article. From Craig Silverman, the proprietor of website named RegretTheError (one of the Internet's most popular media-related websites), comes a collection of funny, shocking, and sometimes disturbing journalistic slip-ups and corrections. On display are all types of media inaccuracy - from 'fuzzy math' to 'obiticide' (printing the obituary of a person very much alive and well) to complete and utter ethical lapses. While some of the errors can be laugh-out-loud funny, the book contains a sobering journey through the history of media mistakes and a serious muck-raking investigation of contemporary journalism's lack of accountability to the public.
