Accuracy and accountability are among the most important tenets of journalism. In combination, they mean media organizations are expected to publish or broadcast forthright corrections after sharing inaccurate information. The following corrections are among the many prompted by CAMERA’s communication with reporters and editors.
After CAMERA contacted Wall Street Journal editors, the newspaper corrected misleading language that omitted the role of the Temple Mount in Judaism, even while describing the site as sacred to Christians and Muslims. 
The Wall Street Journal is the second media outlet this week to correct an erroneous headline falsely claiming that Israel announced plans to build new settlements. Credit goes to the Detroit News straightforwardly correcting its error. Why hasn't the Wall Street Journal done the same? CAMERA commends the Wall Street Journal for its correction of an article that misled on the status of payments to the Palestinian Authority. In response to communication from CAMERA staff, Wall Street Journal editors promptly correct a map which referred to the West Bank as "Palestine." They also correct a caption which likewise identified the Gaza Strip as "Palestine." The Journal initially relayed a United Nations claim that Israel fired on and killed a UN worker without pointing out that an Israeli investigation showed otherwise. The newspaper commendably corrected this error of omission. Send this to a friend
