Correction: We got it wrong on Vargas’ crowdfunding

An article published Friday in Media Life (“What happens when the LA Times drops your site“) discussed a crowdfunding effort speared by journalist Jose Antonio Vargas to support his new site, #EmergingUS.

We reported that Vargas set up a table outside the Los Angeles Times to raise money for the site, which was originally going to be backed by the paper.

We got that wrong. The table was not outside The Times building but rather at an event Vargas attended in Iowa. We’ve updated our story with the right information.

Media Life apologizes for the error.
