Was that an error?

Disclaimer: This entry is not a witch haunt of mistakes made by the journalists of the mention press. it is only from admitting these mistakes that one can learn from it and ensure it is not created again. To err is human, to forgive is divine.

themediaslut was inspired by this site Regret The Error to conduct a search of blogs of readers who have identified mistakes printed in the papers in the AP region.

Afghanistan taken out of map?

l.z.y./Data noted The Straits Times may have taken out Afghanistan from an AFP/Reuters/AP picked up and wrote "As for the ST’s mistake, it probably just came from an over-zealous editor wanting to save space".

the only reason why themediaslut is critical of the newspaper is not that themediaslut hates the local press. Its actually the other way round. themediaslut is a news junkie just like Craig.
