A media watchdog awarded the Denver Daily News the “correction of the year” for its apology for a typo that gave New Jersey the “Jew Jersey” moniker. “Our choice this year is a correction that combines many elements that are indicative of the correction format: it is very short, the error is very bad and also very funny, and the correction is entirely inadequate,” the Regret the Error Web site said in announcing the award on Tuesday.
