It’s Crunk Week
This week I published my third annual round-up of the year in media errors and corrections at Regret the Error, as well as my second annual plagiarism round-up.
Reaction has thus far been very satisfying. I made this year's Crunks the longest version ever (over 8,000 words) and included some new awards and features. Give it a read.
Below is a sampling of media coverage. I'll also be on CBC Radio's The Current next week, and on NPR's On The Media in a few weeks. More links will be added as they emerge.
