Corrections in newspapers must be same size and prominence as the original error

Petition Details

Some newspapers regularly print incorrect or misleading information and then print corrections hidden away in small boxes when the error was front page news. Corrections to factual mistakes in print and online media should be as prominent as the original error to prevent misleading people.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.

You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.

We cannot accept duplicate petitions. We think this petition is similar to yours:

petition.parliament.uk/petitions/105108

You might like to sign this petition instead. It is more likely to get more signatures that way.
