In an article about Doosan, a South Korean company, pulling out of a planned wind power project in Scotland, the Guardian used a quote from that company published in ReCharge, a subscription green magazine. Contrary to the paper's editorial guidelines, we failed to make clear that the author of the Guardian story also writes a regular column for ReCharge as a freelance commission. In addition, the Guardian story stated that the company had made "no public statement until the news leaked out at an industry conference in Denmark". To clarify: the story broke nationally on 18 April, but it appeared first in ReNews, another subscription-only magazine for the renewables industry, on 9 February 2012 (Investor scraps 1,700-job wind power project, 19 April, page 26).
The caption on a photograph featuring passengers on a tram in Jerusalem observing a two-minute silence for Yom HaShoah, a day of remembrance for the 6 million Jews who died in the Holocaust, wrongly referred to the city as the Israeli capital. The Guardian style guide states: "Jerusalem is not the capital of Israel; Tel Aviv is" (Eyewitness, 20 April, page 24).
