December 28, 2011
The original version of the article stated that Jesse Rosenfeld was a Canadian activist writing for the Guardian’s online Comment Is Free section. He was a Canadian freelancer writing for the Guardian’s online Comment is Free section. The Review regrets the error.
Within a few days after Basen’s cbc.ca article was published, Rosenfeld complained to CBC that he had been misrepresented in Basen’s piece. In a letter, Kirk LaPointe, CBC ombudsman, responded. “In reviewing the column, I have concluded that it left some errant impressions, he wrote, saying that Comment is Free was just as “journalistically sound” as The Guardian and that Basen’s column failed to mention Rosenfeld’s contributions to other publications, including several from the Middle East. LaPointe cited the overlook to the changing definition of journalism and traditional news outlets seeking ways to work with citizen media. This information was not included in the original article. The Review regrets the error.

During Prue Hemelrijk’s time at the Arts Council in London, the shipping company offices near the Council intrigued her. Our print publication incorrectly stated, “She passed by Liverpool shipyards every day.” The Review regrets the error.
Barbara Sutton was managing editor at the publication City & Country Home in 1990. Our print publication incorrectly identifies her as managing editor of Canadian Home and Country. The Review regrets the error.
Our print publication misstated information relating to Prue Hemelrijk’s marathon birthday celebration. Though the festivities lasted several days, Hemelrijk was not the host. The Review regrets the error.
