The NY Times, Corrections
December 25, 2005
The NY Times published this correction to last week's article in the Real Estate section.
The "Living In ..." article last Sunday, about Prospect Heights in Brooklyn, referred imprecisely to a proposal by Bruce C. Ratner to build a nearby complex of shops, offices, housing and a basketball arena. It would indeed be built over the Atlantic Avenue railyards, but also on adjacent land now occupied by residences and businesses.
The article also misstated the name of the team Mr. Ratner hopes to install in the arena. It is the New Jersey Nets, not the New York Nets.
TimesRatnerReport:
The Times corrects the "over the railyards" error--in the Real Estate section, at least
TimesRatnerReport gives props to the Real Estate desk for the correction, but points out that the same mistake has stood uncorrected in two prominent articles by historian John Manbeck (11/13/05) and the previous Times architecture critic Herbert Muschamp (12/11/03).
This leaves TimesRatnerReport wondering if the correction signals a change in policy or just increased scrupulousness on the part of the Real Estate desk.
