Guardian Issues Corrections for Siberian Photo and Real Madrid Revenue
The Guardian has published a set of corrections and clarifications, addressing errors in recent articles, including a notable misidentification in a Siberian wilderness feature and an inaccurate financial figure for Real Madrid.
Correction Details: Siberian Wilderness Photo
In a long-read article about a family living in the remote Siberian wilderness, published on 22 January in the Journal section, a photo caption incorrectly identified a man as Karp Lykova, the father of Agafia Lykova. The Guardian has clarified that the man in the image is actually Yerofei Sedov, a neighbour of the Lykova family. This correction ensures the historical and personal accuracy of the piece, which explored the isolated lives of those in the region.
Financial Amendment: Real Madrid's Revenue
Another correction involves Real Madrid's revenue for the last season. An article from 22 January, titled "Liverpool rise up rich list but no English club in the top four," initially reported Real Madrid's revenue as €1.61bn (£1.4bn). This has been amended to the correct figure of €1.16bn (£1bn), reflecting a significant adjustment in the financial data presented. This update maintains the integrity of sports business reporting.
Other Recent Amendments
The Guardian also listed several other articles that have been recently amended, though specific details were not provided in the original notice. These include:
