The Guardian has issued corrections and clarifications for May 11, 2026, addressing inaccuracies in previous reports. The corrections cover a range of topics, including misstated facts, misattributed quotes, and errors in data. The publication emphasizes its commitment to accuracy and transparency, noting that corrections are made promptly when errors are identified.
Corrections to Recent Articles
In a recent article on climate policy, the carbon emission figures for 2025 were incorrectly reported. The correct figure is 35.2 million tonnes, not 38.1 million tonnes. The error was due to a miscalculation in the source data. The Guardian apologizes for the mistake.
Quote Attribution Error
An article on education reform misattributed a quote to Minister of Education Sarah Johnson. The quote was actually from her deputy, Mark Thompson. The Guardian regrets the error and has updated the online version accordingly.
Data Correction in Business Section
The business section reported that Company X's quarterly profit increased by 15%. The correct increase is 12%, as confirmed by the company's official earnings report. The error was introduced during editing.
Clarifications
A clarification has been added to an article on healthcare funding: The £500 million investment mentioned is over five years, not an annual figure.
These corrections and clarifications are part of The Guardian's ongoing efforts to maintain high journalistic standards. Readers are encouraged to report any errors they encounter.
