Press Council: Zuger Woche failed to make a correction

According to the Press Council, the Zuger Woche has breached one of its journalistic duties by failing to publish a correction to a partially incorrect article. This was announced by the Press Council on Tuesday. With this finding, the complaint of a person mentioned in the article, who had drawn the newspaper's attention to an error several times, was partially upheld. However, a correction was never published. The Press Council found that the newspaper should have published a corrective counterstatement, even if it had not been expressly requested by the complainant. This did not exclude the obligation to correct a false report.
