Change presentation of newspaper apologies.
I want them to pass a law to make newspapers print retractions of false stories that are proportional in relation to the original article/feature,
i.e., in the same position, with the same prominence and for the same length of time as the original article.
i.e., in the same position, with the same prominence and for the same length of time as the original article.
Why is this important?
Dishonest or poorly researched jounalism creates a distorted perception of events and people which is unhealthy for the society we live in.
A proportionate retraction would go some way to addressing this by making readers more aware of this unfortunate practice.
