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.
Initially, AP failed to cover the death of Nesya Karadi, 11, who succumbed to fatal wounds incurred Passover eve in an Iranian cluster bomb missile attack on her Bnei Brak home. She was Israel's latest fatality, all of them civilians, from Iranian missiles during the spring 2026 war. AP heeded CAMERA's call to cover the girl's story, which then appeared in more than 150 secondary media outlets.
UPDATED: CAMERA prompts an AP correction, republished in dozens of secondary media outlets, after the news agency cited "Washington and Tel Aviv," wrongly identifying Israel's capital.
CAMERA's Christmas correction at the Associated Press reaches well over 180 media outlets in the United States and beyond. While Pope Leo referred to "Palestine," the news agency amended the article to more accurately refer to "the Palestinian territories."
Lesson learned? A CAMERA-prompted AP correction on "Palestine" terminology appearing in an education story reaches more than 30 secondary media outlets.
Associated Press' headline had stated as fact "Israel kills 34 people in Gaza," though the claim is unverified. The improved headline, appearing in dozens of media outlets, now qualifies with attribution, stating "health officials say." (Unmentioned, though, is the Hamas-affiliation of said officials.)
CAMERA prompts correction of an AP article which had erased the deadly crime of released Palestinian prisoner Imad Abu Aliya. Nearly 50 secondary media outlets also corrected, clarifying that the terrorist was convicted for intentional manslaughter and incitement, not simply affiliation with Hamas.
After CAMERA prompts a significant correction of AP's absurd assertion that "[i]nternational law gives Palestinian refugees and their descendants the right to return to their homes," several dozens secondary media outlets correct.
