CMV: Newspaper apologies or corrections should be printed at the same size and page of original story.

Newspapers in the UK often print dramatic front page/two-page spread stories containing misleading information/misrepresentation, or even categoric untruths. Public opinions are created through the strong dramatised headlines/stories. These false opinions based on incorrect information can be very damaging and divisive to our society. When the subsequent retraction, correction or apology article is printed obscurely, it is often not read. Public opinion is not corrected, the damage has been, and remains done.

If the law mandated that the correction articles or apologies must legally be the same size and on the same page/s as the original article, this would help avoid the public being mislead, and also provide a incentive for newspapers to ensure that their articles are not misleading.

So, obviously you can't print new things in a paper after the paper has been printed; you have to wait for the next day's edition, which is why there is usually a "corrections" section of the paper specifically dedicated to amendments to prior issues. 

Doing away with this and adopting your plan would mean that an error in the Monday's frontpage story would consume the page real estate for Tuesday's headline, making Tuesday's front page nothing but a large correction for Monday. Who's going to buy Tuesday's paper, then? 

I get that you view this as a punishment for deliberately misleading stories, but corrections are also issued for typos, mistakes, and to acknowledge new information that has come to light since the story's publishing. Killing the sell-ability of tomorrow's paper over these factors that are often beyond the papers' control is pretty harsh, no?
