I learned through a reporter friend who works for AP that the organization essentially has a decentralized system for corrections; the reporter and/or editor on a specific story apparently is responsible for handling a correction, if one is determined to be necessary. Since the story cited in this bug report was datelined Los Angeles, I emailed and called the news editor in the AP's Los Angeles bureau. I also tried following up by email with the LA bureau chief: http://www.ap.org/california/contact_ca.htm Mark Follman<http://mediabugs.org/people/Mark_Follman> http://mediabugs.org/bugs/george-was-neurotic-but-he-wasnt-jerrys-neighbor#163 2010-05-07T03:10:22-07:00 MediaBugs http://mediabugs.org/bugs/george-was-neurotic-but-he-wasnt-jerrys-neighbor#164 Scott Rosenberg said: It's an interesting problem, then, isn't it? The reporter or editor is responsible for the correction. But the story, in this case, has no byline. And if you contact the bureau, as we did, and you don't get a response? It's not clear what the next recourse is. But we'll keep at it!

He said that AP will research the matter and post their response here on MediaBugs, as well as take any necessary action on the wires. Stay tuned.

He played a friend of Jerry Seinfeld, not his neighbor."
