We got it wrong — Newsroom · Free Press

Yesterday the Gazette wrote that the library closes at 6 pm. It actually closes at 8 pm. Press game on MyLeoNes for ages 7–17; invented stories, not real news.

Your task

Make the best choices.

Good newsrooms correct mistakes openly. Hiding them damages trust far more than the mistake itself.
Invented newsrooms and stories to learn from, not real news. Before sharing anything about real people, ask a trusted adult.
Never share private details of anyone. Nothing about you is collected.

Score

How news works — You understood how this part of journalism works.
Truth & accuracy — You checked the facts before telling them.
Fair & kind — You were fair to the people in the story.

In real life

Real world: many newspapers publish corrections daily, and the right to correction and reply is protected in Portugal's Press Law (Lei de Imprensa).
