The public correction 场景学习单

An editor discovers that a dramatic detail was embellished and then copied by partners, visitors, and local officials.

一名编辑发现一项戏剧性细节被夸大，随后又被合作媒体、访客和地方官员复制传播。

REPORTER

We can quietly change the article now; announcing the error may damage trust more than the detail itself.

我们现在可以悄悄修改文章；宣布错误可能比细节本身更损害信任。

EDITOR

A correction should travel at least as far as the mistake.

更正至少应传播到错误曾经到达的地方。

EDITOR

Preserve the original, name the false claim, explain how it entered the report, identify affected decisions, notify every distributor, and commission an independent review.

保留原文、指出错误说法、解释它如何进入报道、识别受影响的决定、通知每个传播方，并安排独立复盘。

REPORTER

I will sign the correction, contact the rescue team first, and step away from follow-up coverage during the review.

我会署名更正，先联系救援团队，并在复盘期间退出后续报道。

The correction cannot erase the harm, but it stops the newsroom from hiding inside another version of the story.

更正无法抹去伤害，但它阻止编辑部躲进故事的另一个版本里。
