Complaint
A reader complained to the ECU that the headline of this article remained inaccurate and misleading, despite changes to the text of the article in response to his original objections.聽 The ECU considered the complaint in the light of the 大象传媒鈥檚 editorial standards of accuracy.聽
Outcome
大象传媒 News had already acknowledged that the article was at fault for not making clear that the headline鈥檚 claim was based partly on data analysis by a computer model, rather than entirely on meteorological observations, and had made an appropriate correction.聽 In the ECU鈥檚 judgement, while the headline could have included more information (for example, whether it referred to the temperature at a single location or to a global average), it could not strictly be termed inaccurate, and that, read in the context of the amended article, it was no longer potentially misleading.
