More “Corrections & Clarifications” in The Palm Beach Post.

This appeared in yesterday’s paper, on page A2, below the fold.

“Because of a data reporter’s error, two comparisons were incorrect in a story Saturday on the skyrocketing number of heroin deaths in Palm Beach County and throughout Florida. County deaths from heroin-related overdoses in a two-year period, not a six-year period, were as great as in 2015. [emphasis added] And the average monthly toll of deaths across the state was 63, slightly more than reported in March 2016, when 57 people died in Palm Beach County. A chart showing the number of deaths from 2009 to 2014 should have said 427 people died in Palm Beach County. The story ran on the front page.”
