Jill Stanek writes:

A student reporter for The Daily Texan, the student newspaper for the University of Texas, got it right when calling abortion supporters what they are -- "pro-abortion" -- five times in an article about a counter-demonstration held during the annual pro-life Texas Rally for Life on January 24.

The term even made the article’s headline.

But she infuriated those who support abortion but who strangely aren’t proud of it. . . .

"The headline and terminology were quickly removed from the online story and replaced with 'abortion rights,'" Stanek continues. "The only evidence remaining is the hard copy of the newspaper," snapshots of which Stanek provides in her column.

Here's how The Daily Texan explains the abrupt changes to both the top front-page headline and to the body of the news report:

Editor's note: Because of an editing error, a previous version of this article used the term "pro-abortion." It has been corrected to reflect proper AP style. This was an editorial oversight, so please direct comments to the managing editor at managingeditor@dailytexanonline.com.

Let it be noted that no newspaper need follow, slavishly or otherwise, the "proper" style guide of the Associated Press. Note also that even when publications adopt, as an accident of history, the AP style, many of these publications will contravene this style guide with their own in-house style guide.

In any case, all reporting should be fact-based, and these facts should not be "corrected" or sacrificed on the altar of style, politics, or ideology. 

There is a difference between journalism and propaganda. If not, perhaps The Daily Texan wouldn't mind changing its name to The Daily Texan Propaganda.
