Newspaper errors and corrections, the very best

These are excerpts taken from actual newspaper errors and corrections that have happened in various publications this year:

"The Denver Daily News would like to offer a sincere apology for a typo in Wednesday's Town Talk regarding New Jersey's proposal to ban smoking in automobiles. It was not the author's intention to call New Jersey Jew Jersey."

"Norma Adams-Wade's June 15 column incorrectly called Mary Ann Thompson-Frenk a socialist. She is a socialite."

"Fairchild Publications, publisher of Jane and Modern Bride, announced it will pull some 200,000 copies of YM Your Prom off newsstands after Studio 17, a prom-dress advertiser, mistakenly printed a child-porn Web site address in two of its six ad pages. Fairchild had put a total of 680,000 copies on newsstand in late December, but an estimated 75 percent had already been sold."

"In yesterday's Terry Hall column Fletcher Building revenues should have been $3.9 billion rising to $4.6 billion in the latest year, not $4661 billion. Carter Holt's revenues should have been $3.5 billion, with a broker forecast of $3.19 billion, not $3193 billion as reported."
