Further notes:

A blog post from managing editor Debbie Hiott in Nov 2009 provided info about online corrections:

"Under our new online corrections policy, we are going to try to do a better job of owning up ... mistakes online. Now whenever we are making any correction that goes beyond a typo, we will not only fix the error in the copy but also append an update explaining that the original article was in error and it has been corrected. That way people are aware that something has been changed.

As always, please be sure to contact a reporter at the email address attached to the article if you find an error. And if you don’t get a satisfactory answer, email me at dhiott@statesman.com."

[We found the above via the site search function; it is not otherwise posted explicitly on the site. The only corrections content appears to be from Associated Press stories; there is no corrections page or archive.]

"The Globe welcomes information about errors that call for corrections. Information may be e-mailed to comments@globe.com or left in a message at 617-929-8230."

Further notes:

Corrections page and information are difficult to find; requires use of site search function. (There is also some confusion caused by the site's distinguising between Web and print, with different links and contact information for each.)

Corrections content is sparse, with items only dating back a few weeks. Corrected items do not appear to contain links to the original stories.
