The Big City column this weekend on Page 3 about Steven F. Wilson, who ran a charter school network, misspells the given name of an author. She is Robin DiAngelo, not Robyn. An article this weekend on Page 8 about the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History coming under attack by the Trump administration for the diversity it represents misidentifies part of the title of Marie Madison-Patton, MOCAD's co-director. She is also the chief operating officer, not the chief financial officer. The article also describes incorrectly the role of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in the 'Code Switch' exhibition. The exhibition was first held at the center, not in partnership with it; a second part will open at MOCAD on May 2. This article also includes an outdated description of The Kitchen. Initially an artists collective, it is now an arts institution. This article also misstates the participation of community groups at MOCAD during the 'Gun Violence Memorial Project' exhibit. The groups will not be providing antidrug and anti-violence information as part of the exhibit. An article this weekend on Page 26 about the artist Ann Craven misspells the given name of the curator at the Farnsworth Art Museum. It is Jaime DeSimone, not Jamie. This article also misstates who would be organizing rotating displays at the show at the Bowdoin College Museum of Art. They will be organized by three curators, not by students and prominent figures in the Maine art community. An article this weekend on Page 34 about Brazilian artist Adriana Varejão's first solo museum exhibit in New York misstates the name of the earliest plate made by Varejão for her show at the Hispanic Society Museum and Library. It is 'Mucura,' not 'Mucara.' An article this weekend on Page 43 about a space photography exhibition at the American Museum of Natural History in Manhattan reverses the descriptions of two images of a barred spiral galaxy that are displayed one above the other in the exhibition. The image on top, from the Hubble Space Telescope, looks like a swirl of light, not a circle of fire, and the bottom image, from the James Webb Space Telescope, resembles a circle of fire, not a swirl of light. An article this weekend on Page 44 about younger museum curators working to broaden audiences while focusing on populations and cultures that were previously ignored misstates the title of Nicola Lees at the Aspen Museum. She is the artistic director and chief executive, not the director. A review this weekend on Page 21 of 'On Air: The Triumph and Tumult of NPR,' by Steve Oney, misstates the reviewer's position at the Columbia Journalism Review. The reviewer, Sewell Chan, is the publication's former executive editor. Errors are corrected during the press run whenever possible, so some errors noted here may not have appeared in all editions.

An article on Thursday about President Trump's proposal to Ukraine that essentially grants Russia all the territory it has gained in the war, while offering Kyiv only vague security assurances misstated the number of years that the Crimean Peninsula was considered part of Russia. It was more than 150 years, not hundreds of years. An article on Thursday about Harvey Weinstein's retrial in Manhattan misstated Susan Hoffinger's title. She is the senior counsel to the district attorney, not chief of the investigations division. An article on Friday about the U.S. Naval Academy's efforts to anticipate the desires of an unpredictable presidential administration misidentified one of the institutions criticizing the invitation of Ruth Ben-Ghiat to speak at the U.S. Naval Academy. It was the publication The Federalist, not the legal group the Federalist Society. An article on Friday about a lawsuit filed by an assortment of advocacy groups aimed at stopping the Department of Homeland Security from permanently shuttering its internal oversight divisions after the Trump administration fired critical staff members misstated where the lawsuit was filed. It is Washington, D.C., not New York. The Big City column this weekend on Page 3 about Steven F. Wilson, who ran a charter school network, misspells the given name of an author. She is Robyn DiAngelo, not Robin. An art fair review on Friday about the Association of International Photography Art Dealers fair misidentified the person who gave the artist Koyoltzintli her name. While it was a shaman, it was not a shamanic mentor. The article also misidentified where the artist Cara Romero spent her childhood. She was born in Los Angeles, but grew up on the Chemehuevi Reservation. She did not grow up in Los Angeles. An article this weekend on Page 8 about the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History coming under attack by the Trump administration for the diversity it represents misidentifies part of the title of Marie Madison-Patton, MOCAD's co-director.

It was in Washington, D.C., at the time — not Arlington, Va., where it later moved.

Beloved KGET cameraman, dead at 70, made the job fun for far-from-home young reporters
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) – A beloved former member of the Circle 17 family has passed. Photojournalist Chuck Dennis, who retired six years ago, died Wednesday. He packed a lot of living into his 70 years: stuntman, radio deejay, emergency medical technician, rural fire chief. His was as diverse a professional portfolio as you'll find. It was for his last decade in the working world that folks in Bakersfield knew him best – as a photojournalist here at the local NBC affiliate, KGET. Chuck Dennis – who lived in Missouri, Illinois, Arizona and Northern California before settling in Bakersfield – died at his home, just 70. Reporters he worked with at KGET from 2010 to 2019 remember a man who could come off as pretty gruff at times – but who cared about them, and their shared mission. Lori Lizarraga, who now co-hosts the NPR podcast Code Switch, was at KGET from November 2016 to December 2018. She was like many local television reporters, then and now. Recent college grads, new to the city, alone, perhaps yearning for some semblance of comfort and familiarity. She found it in Chuck Dennis, whom she called 'my Chunk.' 'It took me a while to figure out how to play with Chuck,' Lizarraga said, 'and then, eventually, once I figured it out, I never stopped bugging him. I know he doesn't just let anybody bother him or make him dance, but he would do it for me.' It was very much the same for Kristin Price Davis, who was at KGET from January 2013 to January 2019. She is now the communications officer for Kern County Superior Court. 'Chuck was just one of a kind,' she said. 'I would always tease him that he was, like Grumpy Cat – you remember when Grumpy Cat was like a thing? Cuz that's the exterior that he had. Once you were able to crack that – and it wasn't that hard – he was the sweetest guy, and he would do anything for you.' Kelsey Thomas Pizzi, another former reporter, had the same kind of relationship. 'Chuck was a legend,' she said. 'He was grumpy. He was a hard worker. And in my opinion he had the world's worst ponytail. I would always tease about it and I would always threaten to cut it. Really, Chuck was the photographer behind some of the biggest stories that you would see on TV every night in Kern County.' Smoke plume from massive southeast Bakersfield warehouse fire could be seen across Kern County As chief photographer at KBAK, Steve Mills jostled alongside Chuck Dennis for years: There was admiration among rivals. 'He was an old timer, old school,' Mills said, 'and he told it how it was. You just didn't run into a lot of Chuck Dennises. He was one of a kind.' Danny Freeman, who is now with CNN, would agree. 'Chuck was the photographer you wanted to work with,' Freeman said, 'and the man you wanted to be around. Gonna miss him a lot. I'm gonna miss listening to Queen with him.' Seems just like yesterday that KGET was saying goodbye to Chuck Dennis. 'I haven't got anything to complain about,' he told colleagues on his last day on the job. 'Thank you all. This has been a ride.' Now we say goodbye again to our friend and colleague, Chuck Dennis. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
