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.
AFP has trouble passing up on a juicy story, however flimsy, accusing Israel of wrongdoing. The latest accuses Israel of flooding Gaza by opening dams. Only, there are no dams that can be opened in southern Israel. 
The Wall Street Journal is the second media outlet this week to correct an erroneous headline falsely claiming that Israel announced plans to build new settlements. Credit goes to the Detroit News straightforwardly correcting its error. Why hasn't the Wall Street Journal done the same? Haaretz English edition corrects erroneous headlines which falsely alleged settlers "torched" a Palestinian grove in Hebron. Meanwhile, will Peter Beinart retract his tweet about a "Lag Ba'omer pogrom?" Haaretz corrects a photo caption which wrongly identified the central Israeli city of Modi'in as next to the West Bank barrier. The error is the latest "Haaretz, Lost in Translation." CAMERA staff prompt correction of a Los Angeles Times article which incorrectly stated that SodaStream's headquarters are located in the West Bank. 
After receiving communication from CAMERA indicating that even a Palestinian NGO didn't support the Palestinian government's claim that 60 were killed since July, Reuters refiles the story.
