As long as there has been journalism, there have been journalists who get things wrong. The Summer 2012 issue of Nieman Reports has collected some of the biggest goofs in an online slideshow, "Getting it Wrong."

Alfred Nobel's too-soon obituary and equal premature announcements of the armistice ending World War I are also included.
