Here's the editor's most recent email to me: Dear Heather,
I have made the changes you noted, and I have added a prominent note up top regarding the salamanders. Allow me to please apologize for the mistakes in this article, and let me thank you for bringing them to our attention. We have brought these inaccuracies to the reporter's attention, and he will be getting a stern talking-to about checking his facts carefully. We take this very seriously, and I regret that we let these errors make it through our process. Would you be so good as to check my changes to make sure we are fully in the clear? http://alcalde.texasexes.org/2014/12/notes-from-the-underground/ Thank you again for reaching out to me. I hope this corrects the mistakes and avoids any kind of complication for you professionally. If there is any way I can be helpful to you in the future, please let me know.
