Dan, at least you guys owned up to it. Sometimes things happen that are out of your control. I appreciate the accountability. Learn from it and move forward. This country needs journalism and good journalists, and a Fourth Estate rebuild.

Thank you, and please read the story including the statements from our CEO and from the Chicago Sun-Times union (which I used to belong to before joining WBEZ, where we have our own separate union).

I once left the R out of the word pantry in a headline of a story about a food pantry. Never lived it down. But at least it was me and not AI, right? Onward, Dan.

A friend was once hiring for a role in public relations. You’d be amazed at how many folks made the same typo in their cover letters: leaving out the L in “public.” 😖

Oh, no I wouldn’t. I’ve done it myself many times on first drafts. Oy!

Today should be the last edition of the paper. There’s no coming back from this, apologies be damned.

Under the banner of the CST, this insert included fake health advice attributed to scientific journals that do not exist and quoted “doctors” who don’t exist. Mea culpa simply does not cut the mustard here.
