LA Times Corrects Misspelling in Article, Public Editor Addresses Reader Concern
The Los Angeles Times, currently without a permanent reader representative or ombudsman, handles reader concerns through the role of Public Editor. Recently, an error was spotted in an article published on Oct. 19 in Section A.
The article in question incorrectly spelled the name of Kae Saetern as Kai. This oversight has been noted and is being addressed by the Public Editor, who is responsible for handling such concerns in the absence of a dedicated ombudsman. The role of the Public Editor, much like that of an ombudsman, is to interact with readers regarding journalistic standards and practices at the Los Angeles Times.
While the Los Angeles Times does not currently have a permanent reader representative or ombudsman, the Public Editor is actively working to address reader concerns, such as the recent misspelling of Kae Saetern's name in an article.
