In the Review section of today's Guardian there is an error in a piece by Mark Lawson about a biography of the Pope.
"...a pope wears a crown" he says.
No pope has worn a crown since 1963 - fifty years ago.
I realise I risk being called a pedant by pointing this out. But we are often told that social media is flaky when it comes to truthfulness compared to the gold standard fact-checking of the printed media. Accuracy does matter.
