Anatomy Of An Error & Correction

Veteran political reporter Jim Camden/SR provides a good background on a mistake made by the Associated Press that found its way onto Huckleberries earlier this week -- and was criticized on Facebook by state Rep. Matt Shea, R-Spokane Valley. It was corrected by the Associated Press and Huckleberries. Camden's report begins:

Late Thursday, after an earlier version of this post appeared, Dave Oliveria was contacted by a reporter from the CdA Press who wrote the original item, who said the AP story had, in fact, changed his story to incorrectly describe Pearce's stance on constitutional conventions. This morning Dave removed the earlier post, and provided a new post, with  a link to the AP correction that accurately reflects Pearce's comments.
