Credit where due

Don't know if the management at the Flint Journal is tuning in here, but at least they are beginning to correct and acknowledge the online errors.
Here is an example, the first that I have seen (maybe not the first overall) of an online error being corrected and why.

Here is the correction posted by Matt Bach today:

andwhatnow,
Thanks for your comments on this story. We did correct in this article Dena Altheide's title and we appreciate you pointing that out to us.
We left Carolyn's title as is, because her position is clerk of the court and not court administrator.
Thanks again for your comments and pointing this out.
To all, feel free to let us know how we're doing and informing us of any mistakes - from typos to possible errors of fact and I'll do my best to research and correct them.
Thanks,
Matt Bach

So credit, where credit is due.

Yes, if you can't keep out the errors BEFORE they're printed, better that they're fixed afterward.
