I Have Been Posting The Occasional,

funny clippings from newspapers that I have seen,

but this one takes some beating, it’s always notable when a paper misspells its own name, it’s even more notable when a paper misspells its own name in an article celebrating recent awards for journalistic excellence, I found this one on the Poynter page titled, the best and worst media errors and corrections in 2013, 


the one I liked the most under the title Apology of the Year was this one from the UK newspaper The Sun, 

In an article on Saturday headlined ‘Flying saucers over British Scientology HQ’, we stated “two flat silver discs” were seen “above the Church of Scientology HQ”. Following a letter from lawyers for the Church, we apologise to any alien lifeforms for linking them to Scientologists.
