When editors make reporters look bad
From today's Chronicle corrections:
•More than half of the Houston Independent School District's teachers would have received bonuses last school year if the merit pay system adopted this week had been in place. Because of an editing error, a story on Page B1 in Friday's editions of the Chronicle incorrectly stated the percentage of teachers in HISD's West and South regions who would have earned bonus pay.
Here's the story the correction references and here are the relevant paragraphs:
Almost one-third of the teachers at schools in HISD's West Region would have received a bonus, which is the highest percentage among the school district's five regions.
Just one in every five teachers in the South Region would have earned a bonus if the new system had been in place, based on 2005 scores.
Rumor has it the Chron has a new assistant city editor...Jason Spencer.
