The Guardian newspaper has issued a series of corrections and clarifications, addressing factual inaccuracies in two recent articles concerning environmental policy and a prominent fashion brand.
Clarifications on Environmental and Fashion Reporting
In a correction published on its dedicated page, the newspaper addressed a report concerning wildlife targets. It clarified that a report by the Office for Environmental Protection covered England only, and did not include Northern Ireland. This amends an article titled 'Wildlife targets in England and Northern Ireland ‘will not be met’' from 13 January.
A separate clarification was made regarding the fashion label Stella McCartney. The newspaper had previously stated the brand does not use animal products. This has been corrected to note that while the brand eschews leather, fur, and feathers, it does use wool and silk. This point relates to an article from 18 December about the label's sales.
Other Recently Amended Articles
The corrections column also listed a range of other articles that have been recently amended. These include pieces on topics as diverse as screen time for toddlers, Golden Globes snubs and surprises, and a profile of Georgia's youngest state legislator.
Other noted amendments covered stories on penguin motifs at award ceremonies, Greenland's security stance within NATO, an interview with tennis star Stan Wawrinka, pressures on GP services, events following a shooting in Minneapolis, and a fatal incident during a protest in Jerusalem.
