Key Corrections and Clarifications
Our commitment to journalistic integrity means we promptly correct mistakes when they are identified. This section highlights the most significant corrections from the past week, ensuring our readers have the correct information.
Climate Adaptation FOI Request
In a previous article about the Prime Minister's climate pledge, we incorrectly stated that the Guardian submitted a freedom of information request regarding climate adaptation staff at the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. In fact, it was the writer and campaigner Guy Shrubsole who submitted the request. We apologize for this attribution error.
Shabazz Palaces Song Feature
Our music section incorrectly reported that the new Shabazz Palaces song, Ahh World (I Won the Alpha Bet), featured Ishmael Butler's son Lil Tracy. This was not the case. The song does not include Lil Tracy, and we regret the misinformation.
Other Recent Amendments
Beyond these two corrections, we have also amended articles related to Championship spending records, which reached new highs with playoff expansion, and a story about a 13-year-old from Melbourne who became a world Scrabble champion, where we clarified the words 'lauf' and 'minceur'. These updates ensure our reporting remains accurate and reliable.
Correction Comparison Table
| Article | Original Error | Correction |
|---|---|---|
