Who is the Corrections poster for?

Corrections belongs to the Communications & Media section rather than to a school year, because humanities is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning journalism can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.

When should you use the Corrections poster?

The moment an error is confirmed, before anyone argues about blame. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Corrections belongs on the wall where that humanities work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.

What other posters go with Corrections?
