Background Material

I have created this page in an effort to provide transparency and offer others access to a selection of the research materials I used while writing this book. This is a great starting point for anyone interested in learning more about the issue of media errors and accuracy, and these links can also be used to fact check some of my work in the book.

By no means does this listing represent a complete accounting of the books, articles and other materials I used while writing Regret the Error. It is, however, a collection of the most useful and important material that can be accessed online.
