The policy has caused Mr. Anderson's paper to issue two
corrections recently as the result of changes it made to articles provided by
The Associated Press. On Thursday, The Citizen changed an A.P. dispatch to
describe 6 of 10 Palestinians killed in the West Bank by Israeli troops as
"terrorists," a description attributed to "Palestinian medical officials." The
Associated Press had called those people "fugitives."
The Citizen published a
correction on Friday declaring it to be it an editing error and describing the
six dead as "militants." A week earlier, the newspaper inserted the word
terrorist seven times into an A.P. article about the fighting between Iraqis and
United States forces in the city of Falluja. Mr. Anderson called the two
episodes "silly errors."
