The Guardian newspaper has issued a series of corrections and clarifications across multiple recent articles, addressing factual errors and omissions in its reporting.
Correction on William Nylander's Nationality
In a piece published on February 21 titled 'Lettuce hair' on page 18, the publication incorrectly stated that ice hockey player William Nylander represents the United States. The newspaper has clarified that Nylander actually represents Sweden in international competition, though it accurately noted he was born in Canada.
Photographer Credit Omission
The Guardian also acknowledged failing to properly credit photographer Kate Peters for images accompanying an article about book reading targets. The article 'Last year I read 137 books' appeared in the Saturday magazine on February 21 on page 45. This credit omission occurred in the print edition only.
Royal Family Tree Selection Error
A significant correction involves a February 14 article on page 17 titled 'Cottage sale puts original bramley apple tree in jeopardy.' The piece mistakenly attributed the selection of the bramley as one of 50 great British trees for the golden jubilee to the royal family.
The newspaper has clarified that the Tree Council actually made this selection, not the royal family. Additionally, the publication corrected the timeline, noting that the golden jubilee took place in 2002, not 2022 as originally stated.
