Dodgers: An article in the May 31 Section A about the Los Angeles Dodgers’ declining attendance cited a 10% drop in television ratings this season. Those ratings were for games on Fox Sports Prime Ticket. The story did not include ratings for KCAL telecasts, which are averaging a 1.9 rating, the same as last year. Prime Ticket carries 100 games a season, and KCAL about 50.

Charter schools: An article in the June 2 Business section about a for-profit investment fund to build charter schools — created by former tennis star Andre Agassi and money-management firm Canyon Capital Realty Advisors — quoted Canyon Chief Executive Capital fund manager Bobby Turner as saying: “We expect to attract investors who realize that making money and making societal change don’t have to be mutually exclusive.” In fact, the fund is closed to new investors.

Beer makers: An article in the June 2 Food section said that in 2009, Eagle Rock Brewery was the first brewery to open within the Los Angeles city limits in more than 60 years. Other breweries had opened during that time.
