Great moments in accuracy-based journalism

From the New York Times website:

An earlier version misstated the tenure of Arthur Hays Sulzberger as publisher of The New York Times. It was from 1935 to 1961, not 1963. It also misstated how long Dr. Sulzberger and her sister, Ruth Sulzberger Holmberg, served on the board of The Times. For Dr. Sulzberger, it was 26 years, from 1974 to 2000, not 28 years, from 1972 to 2000; for Ms. Holmberg, it was 37 years, not 30.

Because of an editing error, an obituary on Wednesday about the physician and philanthropist Judith P. Sulzberger misstated the year she became a director of The New York Times. It was 1974, not 1972. (As correctly noted elsewhere in the obituary, she remained a director for 26 years.) The obituary also referred imprecisely to the Pasteur Foundation, on whose board she served. While it is affiliated with the Pasteur Institute in France, it is not the institute's "New York branch."
The late Dr. Sulzberger, as you might have guessed, was part of the family that controls the New York Times Co.!
