Jonathan Wolman says the headline incorrectly read “Clinton, Osama meet to discuss unity” and appeared today on page 17A of about 45,000 newspapers distributed north and west of downtown Detroit.
Wolman says the error was the result of a wrong choice made during a spell-check search and was caught and corrected about 20 minutes after the newspaper began publishing.
Wolman says the newspaper “made an immediate fix, even with papers on the press, and we have apologized.”
He says his apology was “graciously” accepted today by Obama’s campaign.
Obama campaign spokeswoman Amy Brundage also says the campaign has accepted the apology.
The News plans to run a correction Saturday on page 2A.
