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 correction of a United Press International article which incorrectly stated that the future American embassy in Jerusalem will be the first foreign embassy in the city. In fact, there have been over a dozen, with the last two closing in 2006.
CAMERA prompts corrections of a Jerusalem Post headline and article which inaccurately identified radical anti-Israel activist Ali Abunimah, co-founder of Electronic Intifada, as a journalist.
CAMERA prompts corrections at AP, DPA and Haaretz's English edition, where captions stated as fact that Israel was responsible for Ibrahim Abu Thuraya's death, despite unclear circumstances. The captions also wrongly said he lost his legs in an Israeli bombing. CAMERA prompts correction of a Israel Hayom article which falsely stated that Israeli journalist Ben Caspit called for retaliation against the Tamimi family, after cousins Ahed and Nour were recently filmed repeatedly striking an Israeli soldier. CAMERA prompted two corrections of a Newsweek online video about the global impact of President Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital. CAMERA today prompts correction of an Haaretz article wrongly identified the Western Wall as "Judaism's holiest site." (That distinction belongs to the Temple Mount.) Another "Haaretz, Lost in Translation," the error had appeared only in the paper's English edition. CAMERA prompts correction of a Times of Israel article which, due to a mistranslation, erroneously stated that a Bet Hanoun home hit by a Gaza rocket belongs to an Egyptian family. CAMERA prompts correction of an NPR article which erroneously stated that UN Resolution 242 calls for an Israeli withdrawal from eastern Jerusalem. In fact, the resolution doesn't mention Jerusalem, and does not specify from which and how much territory Israel must withdraw. 
In response to communication from CAMERA, AP amends an article which had noted that 2014 Hamas tunnel attacks surprised Israel and terrified residents, but which had failed to mention that the infiltrators also killed five soldiers.
