After some public shaming, the Boston Globe issued a correction Saturday in its “for the record” section expressing “regret” for a column’s “mischaracterization” of The Daily Wire.

“Because of a reporting error, the @Large column in today’s Arts section, which is printed in advance, mischaracterizes the conservative media outlet The Daily Wire.” The correction reads, “Its founder, Ben Shapiro, has spoken out against the alt-right. The Globe regrets the error.”
