AP statement on EPA-Dow Chemical meeting
The Associated Press issued this statement today from Executive Editor Sally Buzbee regarding a story published Tuesday about a meeting between EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt and the CEO of Dow Chemical:
AP had obtained official EPA schedules indicating a meeting had occurred between EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt and Dow Chemical CEO Andrew Liveris and wrote a story saying that such a meeting had occurred. When it became clear that the formal meeting had been canceled, and that the two instead had a brief greeting, AP wrote a new story and corrected the error.
AP standards demand accuracy. When mistakes of fact are made, we correct them.
