AP Corrects Nancy Maynard Obit

Posted
By: E&P Staff The New York Times has carried at least two rounds of corrections of its recent obituary for famed journalist Nancy Hicks Maynard, and the Associated Press followed today with one of its own.

It reads:

In Sept. 21 and Sept. 22 obituaries for journalist Nancy Hicks Maynard and a Sept. 25 corrective, The Associated Press, relying on information from The New York Times, reported erroneously that she was the first black female reporter at the paper. The newspaper now says at least one, Bernadette Carey, a reporter in society news, preceded her.
