It doesn't happen often, but I spotted an error in the New York Times today -- but they fixed it before I could capture it!
When I first read this article on my Blackberry, the photo caption stated "Supporters of the detained Indian rights activist Anna Hazare shout slogans during a rally in her support in Mumbai on Tuesday."
Anna Hazare is a man. But by the time I ran back to my computer, they had already fixed the error.
I see a lot of errors in photo captions. I don't know much about the newspaper editing process, but I get the impression that photo captions are not written by the same person that writes the article.
