The SF Chronicle takes errors seriously!

From the corrections page of the San Francisco Chronicle:

It is the policy of The Chronicle to promptly correct errors of fact and to promptly clarify potentially confusing statements. The policy applies to all newsroom employees.

Errors, whether brought to our attention by readers or staff members, will be corrected quickly and in a straightforward manner.

It will be considered unprofessional conduct and a breach of duty if employees are notified of possible errors but fail to respond. Correcting errors and clarifying ambiguous information is a virtue and an admirable practice.

Significant corrections are noted on the corrections page for seven days and the archived copy of the article will be annotated. Please send requests for corrections to feedback@sfgate.com.

Whew! Anyway, this was interesting but not interesting enough to post on without a notable error to report from yesterday's paper:

Because of a production error, the last three "down" clues were omitted from the crossword puzzle in Datebook on Monday. They are: 64. Lever on a casino "bandit." 65. Air rifle ammo. 66. Miniature dog. (5/16)

Now that must have been a difficult crossword.
