Some Journalism Errors have Serious Repercussions
The Chicago Tribune reports on an erroneous Newsweek article about Guantanamo Bay interogators desecrating the Koran. The article may have inspired violent protests in Afghanistan that resulted in some deaths. The US government is asking for a retraction. Newsweek explains their perspective and covers the situation.
(I feel like Sooz here: the May 9 Periscope column is still on Newsweek’s site. Why don’t they link to it from their follow-up articles?)
