I don't think the logic stretches quite that far. Perhaps it's more like saying if your cock up a frontpage story you should publish the apology on the front page. But I think my basic point is still fair. Regardless of that though issue is one of transparency. We are often told that the value of the media vs citizen media/social media (or whatever the industry is calling it this week) is the fact checking, the reputation - the trust. If that value is going to be explicitly defined behind a paywall that should still be no protection from maintaining those standards. Not least because to do hide the mistakes as well as the content behind a paywall woould simply prove them to be double standards. Thanks James.

The PCC requires due prominence and as the original story presumably appears behind the pay wall, then it makes sense the correction does too. The logic of corrections being published separately applied to print would mean that paid for newspapers would produce separate freesheets just for corrections; that might seem just as absurd as this does.
