Closed Force newspapers to publish corrections on same page and size as original error.

Closed on

Tabloid papers publish sensationalist lies in front few pages. But when lies revealed corrections are buried in small articles at end of paper. By correcting on same page and size equal attention is given to the truth rather than the falsity. Giving media balance and equality to news truth.

For example this lie on Gove's lack of weekend healthcare was given high profile coverage. But the correction of the lie was buried in a tiny article on page 94 in tiny writing. When the media makes mistakes they should be corrected with equal status, attention and coverage!
