At The Pinnacle Gazette, we employ advanced AI-driven journalism techniques designed to minimize factual inaccuracies, but we acknowledge that errors can still emerge from rapidly changing events, misinterpreted data, AI "hallucinations" or unforeseen technical anomalies.

Corrected Article: 2024 TC Candler Rankings Announced For Most Beautiful And Handsome Faces

Correction (12/28/2024, 06:27 PM CST)

A minor correction has been made to our coverage of the 2024 TC Candler Rankings for the Most Beautiful and Handsome Faces. The Chinese actor who secured the third spot was incorrectly identified as Zhang Zhen. The accurate name is Zhang ZheHan. We regret any confusion this may have caused and appreciate the reader who reached out to clarify this information.

Corrected Article: RSV Threat Grows: Vaccination Crucial For Older Adults And Infants

Correction (12/21/2024, 05:40 AM CST)

On December 21, 2024, The Pinnacle Gazette updated the statement concerning clesrovimab’s clinical trial data to reflect its greater than 90 percent effectiveness specifically against RSV-associated lower respiratory infection hospitalizations and severe respiratory infections. The original language referred broadly to RSV-associated hospitalizations, and we have now provided additional clarity to align the article with the Phase 2b/3 CLEVER trial results. We value our readers’ trust and appreciate feedback that helps us maintain the highest standards of accuracy.

Corrected Article: Investigation Launched After Ridgeland Correctional Institution Death

Correction (12/17/2024, 08:53 PM CST)

On December 12, 2024, The Pinnacle Gazette displayed a thumbnail image on its homepage alongside the headline of the article "Investigation Launched After Ridgeland Correctional Institution Death." This image did not show Patrick Charles Massey, and no official images of Mr. Massey have been released by the authorities investigating his death. Although the thumbnail was not included in the article itself, we recognize that pairing an unrelated image with a tragic news story may cause misunderstanding and emotional harm. Upon learning of the error, we promptly removed the image from our platforms. We offer our sincere apologies to the Massey family for any pain this may have exacerbated and reaffirm our commitment to ensuring that our reporting is accurate, respectful, and properly verified. Our approach to visual material selection has been reviewed and updated to prevent similar occurrences in the future.

Corrected Article: California Water Crisis Exposes PFAS Contamination Threats

Correction (12/16/2024, 02:56 PM CST)

A previous version of this article erroneously described Felix Felix as Sweetwater Authority’s Water Resources Manager. In fact, Mr. Felix is not employed by Sweetwater Authority and is a concerned local resident who frequently speaks publicly on water quality issues. We regret this misrepresentation and have updated the article to accurately reflect Mr. Felix’s status. Ensuring the accuracy of our reporting is of the utmost importance, and we appreciate our readers and sources for helping us maintain these standards.

Corrected Article: Ichijo Yutaka Shares Family Life On Oshiyare Clip

Correction (12/14/2024, 01:10 PM CST)

An earlier version of this article included incorrect personal names. The featured Kabuki actor was mistakenly identified as “Ichijo Yutaka” instead of Ichikawa Danjuro, his son’s name was given as “Kansei” instead of Kangen, and his late wife was noted as “Mako” instead of Mao. These inaccuracies have now been corrected. We apologize for the confusion.

Corrected Article: Kongsberg Automotive Reshapes Leadership To Drive Innovation

Correction (12/13/2024, 06:24 PM CST)

An earlier version of this article included incorrect information about Kongsberg Automotive’s leadership team. Contrary to what was previously stated, President & CEO Linda Nyquist-Evenrud has been leading the company since July 2023, initially as interim and confirmed as permanent CEO since January 2024. Christian Johansson serves as the Chief Financial Officer. There have been no additional leadership appointments, and references to a Head of Global Operations role and other unnamed executives were inaccurate. We have updated the article to reflect these verified details and regret any confusion caused.

Corrected Article: CBRE Welcomes New Managing Director For Scotland

Correction (12/13/2024, 05:57 PM CST)

The Pinnacle Gazette mistakenly displayed an image of Stevie Newlands rather than the intended photograph of Matt Willcock, CBRE’s newly appointed managing director for Scotland. This error resulted from a misidentified image file, and we have since corrected the visual. We regret the confusion and remain committed to ensuring the accuracy of our reporting.

Corrected Article: Search Continues For Missing Teen Jacob Partridge

Correction (12/08/2024, 01:37 PM CST)

In our December 8, 2024, coverage of the disappearance of 17-year-old Jacob Partridge, we inaccurately reported that he went missing on December 7 while out for a swim with friends. After receiving clarification from one of our readers who is close to the family members, we have confirmed that Jacob was last seen at about 11 p.m. on December 6, 2024, near Emerald Beach. He was most likely not in the water, but rather running along the shore. This error resulted from relying on initial, unverified accounts. We have since updated our article to reflect the correct timeline and circumstances. We apologize to the Partridge family, our readers, and all those affected by the confusion.

Corrected Article: Daniel Penny Trial Faces Deadlocked Jury Opinions

Correction (12/07/2024, 09:02 AM CST)

The Pinnacle Gazette hereby issues a formal correction and clarification regarding our recent article on the Daniel Penny trial. Contrary to our previous report, no individual named Martin Beck has ever served as a juror in this case, nor has The Pinnacle Gazette or, to our best knowledge, any other publication or journalist spoken directly to any member of the jury. We have no record of the jurors’ identities being publicly disclosed at any point, and we regret any confusion or misunderstanding this misinformation may have caused. We affirm that no jurors were contacted, interviewed, or quoted, and we apologize for the erroneous reference to a non-existent juror.

Corrected Article: Family Urged To Find Missing Man From Liverpool Street

Correction (11/28/2024, 01:55 AM CST)

An earlier version of this article mistakenly included an incorrect image of Mr. Simon Sually. We have promptly corrected this error and sincerely apologize for any confusion or inconvenience this may have caused to our readers.

Corrected Article: Python Challenge 2024 Unites Hunters And Veterans

Correction (08/18/2024, 08:50 PM CDT)

An earlier version of this article incorrectly stated that Tom Rahill, founder of Swamp Apes, is a military veteran. While Swamp Apes works closely with veterans, Mr. Rahill himself is not a veteran. We regret the error.
