Another smooth move from the New York Times. Oops!
Editors’ Note: May 9, 2006
An article in Business Day yesterday described the start of a search by the Forbes publishing family to bring investors into its company. In preparing the article, The Times’s writer consulted an online report from The Independent on Sunday, a British newspaper, which he appended to the end of his computer file for reference.
Through an editing error, four short paragraphs of The Independent’s report, about the history of Steve Forbes’s political ambitions, were incorporated in the Times article. The Times regrets the error.
