Fact Error

A fact error is when an element in a story is presented as a fact, but it is actually wrong. Sometimes it could be the misspelling of someone's name or a wrong date printed in a story.

Example: The New York Times April 23rd issue

Explanation: 

The reference of the Ramapoughs as Indians is wrong and outdated. They are either Native Americans or American Indians.

Revision:

Emboldening the Ramapoughs is another parallel war that the state's Native Americans have been waging: for official recognition.
