Story withdrawn

More

Echo has withdrawn a story from its archive that was published Dec. 3, 2014 with the headline, “Great Lakes ice breaking all the rules.”

Direct quotes in that story and attributed to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration researchers were fabricated.

Echo highly values accuracy and honesty. We also highly value transparency. That is why we are publishing notice of this action.

Echo Editor David Poulson is the senior associate director of the Knight Center for Environmental Journalism at Michigan State University.
