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.
Following our complaint to the Guardian, editors amended an article falsely claiming that Mahmoud Khalil, the extremist anti-Israel activist who justified the Oct. 7 massacre, was born in 'Palestine'.
Israel's participation in Eurovision "endangered" the 16,000 fans inside the arena, El Periódico, a leading Spanish newspaper, alleged in an egregious anti-Zionist screed which also alleged that the Israeli government for initiating Hamas' Oct. 7 massacre of Israeli civilians.
For the fifth time in two years, we prompted a correction at the Guardian over the erroneous claim that the ICJ ruled "genocide" was "plausibly" taking place in Gaza.
The Guardian upheld our complaint, and corrected the opening sentence of an article falsely claiming that Israel "invaded" Lebanon in 2023, while erasing Hezbollah entirely.
"Catholic convent is bulldozed" declares an incendiary AP headline which treats as fact a disputed rumor about Israeli actions in Lebanon. The religious site is still reportedly standing and intact, but AP's reputation as the "world's most trustworthy news organization" is reduced to rubble.
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.
Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan accused Israel of seeking to turn Turkey into a new enemy. AFP's English-language headline stated as fact: "Israel seeks to declare Turkey 'new enemy.'"
While the Islamic Republic's motives for disguising the true nature of its nuclear program are obvious, what possible rationale is there for Western media outlets to cover up the Iranian nuclear threat? Agence France Presse is the latest to submit to the suicidal impulse and erase the existential threats posed by the mullah-run regime.
While summarizing the day’s news, CNN reverted to a familiar media habit by referring to Tel Aviv as Israel’s capital. After CAMERA’s outreach, it corrected the text and removed the reference.
CAMERA prompted Guardian editors to correct an article falsely suggesting that Jerusalem holy sites were closed only to Muslims, when in fact the restrictions affect all holy sites in the Old City, equally affecting Jewish and Christian worshippers.
