Regret The Error’s Craig Silverman has outdone himself this year on his annual greatest-hits list of the year in corrections, including a round up in the Year in Plagiarism, a list no one ever wants to be on. Yikes. But he also notes an interesting trend in the 2.0 world of citizen journalism: Fact-Checking.

Who knew that corrections pages could be so exciting? Backing off baseless allegations that gypsies sabotaged police helicopters and incorrect accusations that Teri Hatcher hosted “sex romps” in a VW camper is all in a year’s work for charmingly libelous British tabloid The Sun. And they’re more accurate than many British papers, somehow!
