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 an uproar, El País editors quietly removed reporting that U.S. Federal Judge Alvin Hellerstein “has made efforts to maintain an impartial stance despite being a well-known member of the Jewish community.”
CAMERA prompts correction at The Los Angeles Times after the paper briefly resurrected Hamas spokesman Abu Obeida from the dead. A September speech following his August death would have been a truly unprecedented feat. But the truth is more mundane.
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."
On July 27, 2025, David Collier posted about media complicity in the promotion of a libel against Israel that involved a photo of a tragically sick, emaciated Palestinian baby named Mohammed. The photo was originally taken by the Gaza-based photographer Ahmed Jihad Ibrahim Al-arini and uploaded to his Instagram account on July 22 – framed, falsely, as how Gaza was gripped by ‘mass starvation’ due to alleged Israeli restrictions on aid.
CAMERA prompts a correction at Ynet after the Israeli media outlet wrongly reported: "During his first term, Trump had no contact at all with the Saudis."
Following correspondence from CAMERA Español, Spain's publicly-funded RTVE removed an Instagram post which falsely claimed that Israel passed a law enabling the “death penalty for Palestinians.”
A recent Smithsonian Magazine report claimed that Megiddo was an “ancient Palestinian city." But as CAMERA told the publication, there is no such thing. Following contact from CAMERA, Smithsonian corrected.
Along with the "tsunami" of emigration is a flood of Israeli media misreporting including factual errors, misunderstanding of demographic concepts and the failure to provide critical context. UPDATE: Ynet deletes erroneous references to a "negative migration balance" and adds key context on the departure of recent immigrants who had fled the Russia-Ukraine war.
Despite the fact that Hamas openly acknowledges that some 200 armed combatants holed up in tunnels under Rafah are its fighters, a Reuters' story today called them "civilians." Following correspondence from CAMERA, the wire service pulled the story.
Lesson learned? A CAMERA-prompted AP correction on "Palestine" terminology appearing in an education story reaches more than 30 secondary media outlets.
