Correcting The Corrections Day At The Los Angeles Times!

If at first you don't succeed....

Solar subsidy plan — An article in the Jan. 13 Business section about California's new solar energy program cited past and new subsidy amounts "per megawatt" of production capacity; a correction Jan. 14 referred to subsidies "per kilowatt." The numbers cited should have been stated as the subsidies paid "per watt."

And...

Washington lobbying — A Monday correction dealing with a Feb. 8 Section A article on a lobbyist's ties to Rep. Richard W. Pombo (R-Tracy) said the House had held hearings on a mining reform provision backed by Pombo but had not debated it on the House floor. A House member held hearings on mining reform in general, but not on the provision.

Plus under this is way too much information category....

Enron trial — An article in Friday's Business section about the trial of two former Enron Corp. executives said attorney Daniel M. Petrocelli wore Chocolat cologne, based on his own account. Petrocelli, who is representing former Enron Chief Executive Jeffrey K. Skilling, said Monday that he was mistaken and that the cologne was Tabac.

Now that the Robinson's-May retail chain is going through the process of shutting down its stores in Southern California, expect to see all their ad space in the Times disappear. Ouch! Talk about a shrinking newspaper.
