The Guardian newspaper has published a corrections and clarifications notice addressing two errors that appeared in its print editions. The first correction concerns an article on UK food inflation, while the second relates to a piece on seagrass meadows.
Inflation Figure Clarified
In an article published on 2 April, a headline stated that "UK food inflation to rise by 'at least' 9% this year, even if Iran war ends." The Guardian has clarified that this should have read "rise to" rather than "rise by" this percentage figure. This means inflation is projected to reach a level of 9%, not increase by an additional 9 percentage points. The error was confined to the print version of the newspaper and has been corrected in digital formats.
Seahorses Correctly Identified
Another correction involves a caption in an article titled "Gardening underwater," published on 4 April. The caption described seagrass meadows as hosting "fish, crabs, cuttlefish, shrimp and seahorses." The Guardian notes that seahorses are, in fact, fish, making the listing redundant. This mistake also appeared only in print.
Other Amended Articles
The corrections notice also mentions several other recently amended articles, though details are not provided. These include reports on strikes in Lebanon, a review of "The Boys" season five, a dispute over an AI surveillance plan in Toronto, and an article on the rise of Africa's manosphere. The Guardian encourages readers to submit complaints or correction requests via email, postal mail, or voicemail.
