Kadang-kadang pada tulisan yang dibuat wartawan dan dipublikasikan media, ditemukan kesalahan atau kekeliruan. Jika kesalahannya kecil atau tidak signifikan, baiknya abaikan saja. Tapi, jika kekeliruannya sangat fatal, mau tak mau Anda harus mengoreksinya. Caranya?
- Always be as diplomatic as possible
- Contact the reporter immediately
- Remain calm and courteous
- If the story has already been run, ask for a correction
- If the reporter is unwilling or unable to redress the error, don’t automatically go over his or her head
- If all else fails, write a letter to the editor correcting the error
- Finally, ask the reporter if there is anything that you can do in the future to prevent this sort of thing from happening again
