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.
CAMERA prompts corrections of multiple Getty Images captions which erroneously referred to Palestinians in the Gaza Strip celebrating the holiday of Eid al-Fitr "against a backdrop of war."

A San Francisco Chronicle columnist cited a New York Times puff piece on Reefat Alareer, apparently unaware that the newspaper retracted the premise that piece. The Chronicle has corrected.
