The Guardian has published its regular corrections and clarifications column, addressing a series of factual errors that appeared in recent editions of the newspaper and its supplements.
Errors in Arts, History, and Sport
In Saturday's pre-printed What's On guide, the newspaper incorrectly named a drama. The piece, written by Peter Bradshaw and starring Joanna Scanlan, is titled Mercy, not "Malice" as was mistakenly published. The correction was noted in the Podcasts section on page 7.
A clue in the weekend crossword also contained a historical inaccuracy. It referenced the assassination of British MP Airey Neave, which occurred in 1979. The crossword had incorrectly stated the year as 1939. This correction appears in the 10 January Saturday magazine on page 78, for clue 18 down.
Furthermore, a sports article has been amended. In the feature listing the 100 best male footballers in the world, published on 20 December, it was stated that Erling Haaland had a penalty saved in last season's FA Cup final. The newspaper clarifies that it was actually Omar Marmoush who had the spot-kick saved.
Culinary Omission and Other Amended Stories
A recipe published in the Feast supplement on 10 January required a crucial addition. The instructions for a celeriac, onion and cheese soufflé failed to mention that the leftover cheese should be sprinkled on top of the mixture before it is baked. This step has now been added to the recipe on page 4.
The column also lists several other articles that have been recently amended. These include pieces on Marks & Spencer's new 'nutrient dense' range, controversy over a joke made by an incoming US ambassador to Iceland, warnings about UK energy supply chains' reliance on China, assault allegations against Julio Iglesias, a dispute at the Adelaide writers' festival, the resignation of Quebec premier François Legault, and a personal piece about enrolling in gardening school.
