The Guardian has published its latest round of corrections and clarifications, addressing a series of factual errors that appeared in its print and online editions. The updates cover a range of topics from art history to international cuisine and recent news stories.
Art and Food Errors Corrected
In the 16 January edition of G2, the newspaper's Trivia corner posed a question about the nationality of the pioneering abstract painter Hilma af Klint. Readers were given four possible answers, but the correct one – Sweden – was not included as an option. The Guardian confirmed this mistake was present in the print version only.
A separate error was identified in a Pass notes column about 'posh nosh' from 4 December. The piece incorrectly stated that Korean bibimbap sauce is made with honey and white miso paste. The publication clarified that the traditional recipe for this staple sauce comprises gochujang (chilli paste), sesame oil, soy sauce, sugar, rice vinegar, and garlic.
Other Recently Amended Articles
The corrections column also listed several other articles that have been recently updated. These include reports on a settled sexual assault lawsuit involving music executive LA Reid, a US House candidate's purchase of the 'nazis.us' domain to redirect to homeland security, and new imaging of a black hole.
Further amended coverage involved stories on the weaponisation of winter in Bucha, a ruling that a datacentre for Elon Musk's xAI was generating extra electricity illegally, and the cancelled 2026 Adelaide writers' festival.
