He is right that many workers who make more than the Labor Department's new proposed threshold of $50,440 a year would be eligible for overtime pay. There is a "duties test," which considers the nature of a person's work. If the work is not "professional" or "white collar" in nature, overtime may be paid. Also, some employers may simply choose to pay overtime. Our story focused on the estimated 6 million workers whose jobs would qualify for overtime because of the proposed rules. The story also focused on how businesses are reacting to the change in rules.

Brooks also says "[Gallup] asked again in 2005, and it was 80 percent who said they were a very important person." He mistakenly attributed the survey to Gallup. While the study of adolescent attitudes supports the sociological trend, the survey was done by other researchers and in different years than the ones he mentioned. Brooks was citing material in his book The Road to Character. Its eBook edition has now been updated to say: "Between 1948 and 1954, psychologists asked more than 10,000 adolescents whether they considered themselves to be a very important person. At that point, 12 percent said yes. The same question was revisited in 1989, and this time it wasn't 12 percent who considered themselves very important, it was 80 percent of boys and 77 percent of girls."

Corrected on May 14, 2015
In the audio of this story, as in a previous Web version, we mischaracterize some aspects of the way revenue from ad sales will be handled, particularly regarding The Atlantic and its Facebook Instant Articles. All the media companies will keep 100 percent of the revenue from ads they sell that appear with their Facebook Instant Articles. If Facebook assists in any ad sales, the revenue will be split. The Atlantic will sell its own ads. But if The Atlantic has unsold ad positions, Facebook may sell ads to fill those spots. In that case, Facebook and The Atlantic will share the revenue. In addition, in the audio we say Facebook and the news publishers will split profits on ad sales. They'll actually split revenue on those sales.

Some readers have pointed out that the slogan "We are the People!" mentioned in this story was made famous by pro-democracy demonstrators in Leipzig, the birthplace of East Germany's peaceful revolution against the communist government of the time. PEGIDA supporters use the slogan because they feel the Berlin government today is ignoring their views just like the communists did then.
Our correspondent says she should have included that information but that it was important to point out the phrase is also associated with Nazi propaganda from the 1930s — specifically a phrase used by philosopher Martin Heidegger. Given the demands by protesters that non-ethnic Germans there assimilate or be banned from Germany altogether, opponents of PEGIDA have criticized its appropriation of the "We are the People!" phrase.
