I'm a fan of Regret the Error, a blog about corrections in newspapers.

This year's collection of the year in errors gives an interesting taste of the foibles the news media brings to reporting especially international stories, For instance this photo from CNN's the Situation Room with the words "Where's Obama" superimposed over a shot of Osama bin Laden and Ayman Zawahiri. Or this beauty from a newspaper in Ontario:

In an article in Monday’s newspaper, there may have been a misperception about why a Woodstock man is going to Afghanistan on a voluntary mission. Kevin DeClark is going to Afghanistan to gain life experience to become a police officer when he returns, not to shoot guns and blow things up.
The Sentinel-Review apologizes for any embarrassment this may have caused.

Los Angeles Times:
Mexico City newspaper: An article in Wednesday’s Calendar section about an English-language newspaper in Mexico City referred to the many U.S. ex-patriots who live there. It should have said expatriates.

The New York Times:
A caption on Saturday with a picture showing a Pakistani man on his bicycle carrying a painting of his son, who he says was abducted by Pakistani intelligence agents in 2001, misspelled the name of the Pakistani capital. It is Islamabad, not Islambad.

The New York Times:
A picture caption on Wednesday with an article about a meeting between the leaders of North Korea and South Korea misspelled the name of the North Korean capital, where the meeting was held. It is Pyongyang, not Pongyang.
