Atlantic Yards correction
Courier-Life Publications published an article last week by Stephen Witt, which stated in the headline, "Congresswoman pulls support of Atlantic Yds. citing Barclay’s shadowy past."
Since the Congresswoman would probably never pull her support for the project (God forbid!), the Courier-Life ran a carefully worded and slightly redundant correction in this week's edition:
Last week’s story regarding U.S. Rep. Yvette Clark pulling her support of the Atlantic Yards project was incorrect.
In fact, the Congresswoman never stated nor implied in any way that she was withdrawing her support for the project.
She merely voiced concerns about the naming rights deal between Barclays Bank and Forest City Ratner Companies, the developer of the Atlantic Yards project.
She never made any comment changing her support of the project itself.
We regret the error.
NoLandGrab: This makes the local weekly's track record for running corrections much speedier than the New York Times.
