<blockquote><font size="1" face="TImes, TimesNR, serif">quote:</font><hr>Originally posted by majorbabs: In cleaning out my files, I found a 6/16 article from the WSJ (byline M ichael J. McCarthy) that talks about having an ombudsman at the paper who responds to reader/other complaints about inaccuracies in stories. <p>How many testy copy editors work in offices with ombudsmen/women and how does that work out? If there's no ombudsmen, how do you handle the complaints?<hr></blockquote><p>The Washington Post's ombudsman seems mostly to get complaints about imagined "bias" in stories from people representing special interests, most often one side or the other in the Middle East conflict. Calls proposing corrections are referred to assigning desks. <p>But what I don't understand is how you came across something from 6/16 while "cleaning out" your files. When I "clean out" my files, I come across clippings from 1966, not 6/19.
