Miami.com, The Miami Herald’s online version, has a policy that makes it difficult to find corrections.
The site has a corrections section. There are headlines for the corrections with blurbs defining the error, the correction and the cause of the error. A click of the headline will lead to all the corrections posted for that day.
The problem with this system is that there is no indication on the first page that clicking on that headline will lead to any more information.
It is not possible to click through to the original story to see if it has been corrected because The Miami Herald charges for archived articles.
The Miami Herald seems more to be addressing its print audience through the online medium, not correctly finding the way to maximize the Web.
Interesting point about them perhaps thinking more about their print audience and how corrections work there.
Yeah, that’s a good point. Do you feel like print users are people totally different from the online users or that print users convert to online users?Does that make sense?
