In "Porn Wars" ( New Review, last week, page 20), two pieces of interlinked research became confused. The piece said: "Rape Crisis South London carried out simple research that involved typing 'free porn' into Google and then quantified the results: 86% of sites that came up advertised videos depicting the rape of under-18s, 75% involved guns or knives, 43% showed the woman drugged, and 46% purported to be incest rape." Those unpleasant statistics were actually garnered by researchers typing "rape porn" into Google. A content analysis of the top 50 sites brought back results listed above. A second search using the term "free porn" involved a much briefer analysis of the top 10 sites listed and found that 50% of those sites hosted rape content – underscoring the unpalatable fact that rape scenes are accessible on half of the top 10 sites found when searching for free pornography.In "Porn Wars" ( New Review, last week, page 20), two pieces of interlinked research became confused.

Sincere apologies to those who found they were too late to enter our competition to win tickets to summer festivals. The advertisment on page 28 of our 9 June issue gave an incorrect closing date of 15 June. It actually closed on 14 June. And apologies to those who were told incorrectly that our competition to win a bike had closed (Magazine, last week, page 43). It is open until 27 June.Sincere apologies to those who found they were too late to enter our competition to win tickets to summer festivals.
