Register Citizen Corrected Error on Front Page Above the Fold
DeRienzo tells iMediaEthics that the correction already ran in print last week on Nov. 14. DeRienzo's Nov. 18 article said the newspaper "made the decision to run a more detailed correction on the front page, above the fold, in Wednesday's print edition." iMediaEthics took this to mean the correction was still to come in print. We've fixed the headline and explained in text as well.

NBC Paid Licensing Fee, Hoax Pregnancy Teen Paid $150 For Footage
Sharlene Martin, the teen's agent, informed us of an error. She explained: "In Ms. Bremner's statement she said that the Toppenish School Board sold the rights to the video TO Gaby Rodriguez for $150 so it could be licensed to NBC. The fee NBC paid for the licensing of the video was put into a scholarship fund for Gaby, as dictated by the terms of the agreement negotiated between Gaby's attorney, Anne Bremner, and the Topppenish School Board. The amount of the licensing fee paid by NBC has not been disclosed and is NOT the $150 as reported by you." We regret the error.
