DEAR EDITOR
EDITORIAL MALFUNCTIONS
There were a several errors in the JAN-FEB 06
issue of Editors Guild Magazine: In the article "The Sound of the
Future" on page 24, editor Peter Honess, ACE, was mentioned as the
editor of the upcoming Poseidon, but we neglected to list the ACE
designation after his name.
In the profile "The Americaniz-ation of Li-Shin Yu" on page 40, there were a few inaccuracies. Yu came to the United States when she was 18 years old to attend Pomona College, not when she was five. She moved to New York in the late 1970s, not the early 1980s. Yu worked as assistant cameraperson on She's Gotta Have It and Stranger Than Paradise, not as camera operator. Editor Michael Levine, who introduced Yu to Ric Burns, worked for her, not the other way around. Yu began working for documentary director Ric Burns in 1993, not 1994. The title of Burns' film is New York: A Documentary Film, not New York: A Documentary History. In the list of credits, the film title Alan Boesek: Choosing for Justice was misspelled. Also, that film's director was Hugo Cassirer, not Nadine Gordimer; Gordimer wrote the script.
In the sidebar "The Ric Burns Effect" on page 42, The Donner Party (1997) was mistakenly listed as a Florentine Films production. It was, in fact, a Steeplechase Films and American Experience production.
Editors Guild Magazine regrets the errors.
