The New York Times has the following correction in today's edition:
An article yesterday about the election of Stephanie Herseth to the House of Representatives from South Dakota cited a precedent erroneously. Ms. Herseth, a Democrat, was not the first woman elected to Congress from her state. Gladys Pyle won a special election to the Senate in 1938 and served two months.
Note that in the online story, the NYT has the phrase "Correction Appended" posted prominently. This is quite a contrast to the Argus Leader's behavior on corrections, simply slipping in a correction without duly noting it.
