Corrections and Clarifications: Key Errors in Recent Articles 2026

Corrections and clarifications are an essential part of journalism. In a recent roundup, we address errors in a celebrity interview, historical facts, and a recipe measurement. These corrections ensure accuracy and transparency for our readers.

Errors in the Gugu Mbatha-Raw Interview

An interview with Gugu Mbatha-Raw incorrectly stated she portrayed Mary Seacole in a biopic. In fact, the film was not released due to production delays during Covid. This error was limited to the print edition and has been corrected online.

Historical Inaccuracies in US Photos Article

An article about iconic US photos reported that 22,000 soldiers were killed in one day at the 1862 Battle of Antietam. The correct figure is the total number of killed, wounded, or missing. Additionally, the bomb dropped on Nagasaki was codenamed Fat Man, not “Big Boy.”

Recipe Measurement Mistake

A summer spritz cocktail recipe overstated the amount of elderflower liqueur. The intended measure was 35ml, not 235ml. We apologize for any confusion caused.
