[+] morrowind@lemmy.ml -63 points 2 years ago (3 children) Nothing wrong with admitting your mistakes, but also seems to me that you should be able to fix them without publicly announcing it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] Crikeste@lemm.ee 79 points 2 years ago* (1 child) Not in the news world. Corrections need to be made so people don’t go around spewing nonsense. EDIT: And those corrections need to be bold and assert themselves. You can’t simply change your words and expect people to find the corrections themselves. That is too much work for the reader, and stating corrections is VERY easy for the publisher. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] LudwigvanBeethoven@sh.itjust.works 21 points 2 years ago This. My national news agency publishes corrections like in ye olden days with ye olde telex: separate issue example would be: CORRECTION - President denounces war in Israel BULLETIN - President denounces war in Isral listed separately, added in their own archives etc. permalink fedilink source parent [–] GeekFTW@kbin.social 24 points 2 years ago also seems to me that you should be able to fix them without publicly announcing it.

You will strike thru the error using a single line, leaving the error legible. Then amend the document with the valid information and initial the change as authorized. You then submit the new draft, with visible corrections, to be published. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] MrShankles@reddthat.com 11 points 2 years ago (1 child) That's exactly how they taught us in nursing school. If you try and hide the mistake by "scratching" it out, it's assumed that you're hiding something. A single strike thru with an initial; owning your mistake. Mistakes are expected, and so is being honest about it. Makes you think twice before writing anything half-assed Granted, most of us don't do paper-charting anymore; but the EMR still tracks any addendum.

And all my science labs. And any contracts job forms etc. I'm constantly trying to get apprentices to break the habit of scratching things out. We dont destroy information. What if you were wrong about being wrong? And write units for things and not just numbers dammit. permalink fedilink source parent
